There is no existing file named /etc/config/keyboard,

But there is a file named  /etc/default/keyboard, here is the content:
    # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

    # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

    XKBMODEL="pc105"
    XKBLAYOUT="ca"
    XKBVARIANT=""
    XKBOPTIONS=""

    BACKSPACE="guess"
