¿Did you do aptitude install locales localeconf?
¿Or dpkg-reconfigure them, if already there?

Unless you disable the XKB extension in
/etc/X11/XF86Config(-4) the console configurations won’t affect X.

What are your XKB configs? Either check the above mentioned
config file, or do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86.
Another tip would be to try xkeycaps.

Typically locales are set in /etc/environment. But your
problem seem to be more of keymaps than of locales.

POSIX is just the default.

Not that I know. It is one of the weak points of GNU/Linux,
together with desktop printer setup and sound I guess.
