my /etc/default/keyboard has
XKBMODEL="pc104"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
but I want us intl (104key with dead keys).
Do I just change
XKBVARIANT="intl"
?

I took at look at this, and it has
Generic 104-key PC
set now.
I don't see a 104-key (Intl) PC
option, but I swear that's what I use.
I do see
Generic 102-key (Intl) PC
and
Generic 105-key (Intl) PC
This leaves me wondering.
