I've pushed a commit to fix cloud-init's PR 4361 to ensure we write /etc/default/keyboard correctly instead of calling localectl set-x11-keymap directly.

I have also published preliminary 23.3 cloud-init deb packages for both Jammy and Mantic to https://launchpad.net/~chad.smith/+archive/ubuntu/cloud-init-uploads that can be used to validate that writing /etc/default/keyboard directly works as advertised

 This proposed changeset is small enough that cloud-init user-data can actually modify itself on disk before cc_keyboard runs using write_files directives.

@DaveJones,

I've attached test_write_etc_default_keyboard.yaml which is cloud-config user-data that will leverage the proposal in PR #4361.

Would you be able to launch daily mantic arm64 images on raspi with the following user-data test_write_etc_default_keyboard.yaml to confirm the proposed cloud-init fixes from PR 4361 properly set the keymap/layout for you?

Once we validate that behavior on Focal, Jammy and Lunar doesn't degrade, we will include this in 23.3 release (tomorrow/Monday) and SRU it into Focal/Jammy and Lunar.
