Please describe what happens with the right Control key if you remove 
cached.kmap.gz and invoke 'setupcon' as root.  I can't understand what 
you wrote.  Does right Control always behave as right Control and 
doesn't produce "/"?  Or it produces "/" but then something weird 
happens when you use Backspace?  Does it happen only on the console?

I meant that Backspace doesn't work well with some symbols when the 
console is in Unicode mode.  This has always been a problem.

The keyboard configuration programs (including keyboard-configuration) 
will not show br(thinkpad) as a possible option.  I reported the 
problem (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25353).
