I did some further testing and could reproduce it on another new installation:
- I selected "USA" as keyboard layout during installation.
- Then on the installed system I tried to set it to German for TTYs, running 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration'
- Even after rebooting the keyboard layout remained US.
- Executing 'sudo setupcon' activated the German layout immediately.
Then I tried to switch keyboard layout back to US the same way.
Interestingly this time running 'sudo setupcon' was not sufficiend to switch layout. I had to do another reboot afterwards to activate the new layout.
