It just adds the appropriate extra lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

<!-- This file is automatically generated, so do not edit it. 
     Edit /etc/default/console-setup instead, and then run 
     dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server  -->

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
      <merge key="input.xkb.rules" type="string">xorg</merge>
      <merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">de,cz,us</merge>
