Works for me on Debian Wheezy. Either it's a version difference (I
don't have any Squeeze machines any more, we're all on Wheezy or
Jessie), or there's some additional package that I have installed
here.

Mind you, I have no idea what I'm looking at.

rosuav@sikorsky:~$ setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us

I guess that means I have a 105-key PC keyboard in en_US layout, but
what 'evdev' means I would have to go manpage digging to find out.
