I don't know if it is worth it.

But whether it is patched to output an error or not, I suggest fixing
localectl(1), as the current version goes like this:

; man localectl

  [...]

    list-keymaps
        List available keyboard mappings for the console, useful
        for configuration with set-keymap.

  [...]

If Debian's localectl cannot do that, it would be nice to say
so explicidly in the list-keymaps/set-keymap paragraphs, and also
to explain or give some pointers to the Debian "home-grown" solution,
that I am unaware of.
