I still have problems which seem to be the same as described here with a fresh Karmic install, busybox 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7.

I made a custom keyboard layout, saved as /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de_us . Manually loading the layout in GNOME with
  setxkbmap -layout de_us
works fine.

The relevant part of my /etc/default/console-setup:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="de_us"
#XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

Following https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-installer/2009-May/000365.html , I ran then
  sudo /etc/init.d/console-setup restart
Which returned OK.

However, after a reboot the layout is not loaded. I can manually do so in a TTY with
  sudo setupcon
or in GNOME using setxkbmap.
