Thanks for the answer. It's me stupid and GNU/Linux/Debian inconsistent.
For the boottime-config (install-keymap), the correct layout is "sg".
For X, however, sg produces exactly that halfbrew sg (qwertz, Umlaute),
but without Alt Gr.
For X, as you indicated, "sg" must *not* be. It has to be "de_CH" here.

This defies logic, especially since "sg" in X does almost what it should;
but that's what the world happens to be at times.

Thanks again !
