I *think* in the past it was related to upgrading some packages, but I
could never figure out what package exactly.

I was hoping to file a bug and someone who could grep the install
scripts could check for vconsole.conf and say whether it was systemd
or not

I filed it with systemd since it owns localectl, which is as close as I got.

For what it's worth I've recentlry done apt upgrades where the
keyboard is reset to QWERTY but the vconsole.conf is *not* changed,
instead I need to run "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" again
and re-select the exact same options I have selected already, and
somehow the kernel then gets the hint that I want the Dvorak layout.

So probably in the absence of other evidence this bug should be
reassigned to the keyboard-configuration package.
