Hi there,   
      
   there are some voices on the internet that claim that there is no   
   workaround. That's not quite true. locatectl simply doesn't recognize   
   the files, because they're named "*.kmap.gz", but it only looks for   
   "*.map.gz". Don't be embarrassed, I'm sure it was difficult to notice,   
   after staring at the source code for decades.   
      
   The workaround is nearly trivial:   
      
   	cd /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz   
   	ln -s de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz   
   	# And again for all the keymaps you're interested in.   
      
   An actual fix would be to update the internal glob in localectl, or   
   wherever the function lives that decides whether a filename is   
   interesting or not.   
      
   Cheers,   
   derandere
