How do you normally login, at a VC or in a Display Manager?

Where did you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" from?

Have you seen this line:
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.19.0-17-amd64
since you changed /etc/default/keyboard and ran
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration?

Checking your current initrd is a little tedious: you run
unmkinitramfs to unpack the initrd, and you zcat your
/etc/console-setup/cached_UTF-8_del.kmap.gz to, say, /tmp.
Then run, eg:

$ diff -u …/main/etc/console-setup/cached_UTF-8_del.kmap /tmp/cached_UTF-8_del.kmap
$ 

where they are the unpacked and decompressed files respectively.

Cheers,
David.
