You need to put the following in /etc/default/keyboard:

XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

this has not changed since previous releases and I've had to add it there 
to them too.

You can run

setupcon -k

to implement the change.

Interestingly, the left alt key with shift still works after this change.
