Luckily, bugs from years ago sometimes get solved! And I believe
keyboard-configuration is meant to solve ones like these.

That wouldn't do any good since it would only affect the user's settings once
logged in and the OP is complaining about the gdm environment (before login).
It's possible to do the same configuration for the Debian-gdm or root user,
to take effect in the pre-login DM environment, but the keyboard-configuration
package should probably do this for you. (It's also very tricky and awkward)
