I'm not setting it intentionally, but I suspect somewhere in the xkb
stack.  If I choose just Norwegian as my layout in gnome control center,
I get:

$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+no+us:2+inet(evdev)+level3(ralt_switch)+compose(caps)+group(alts_toggle):1+group(alts_toggle):2"   };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

Which looks pretty bizarre to me, and I have no idea what «us» does
there.

I'd argue that making people unable to write «@» is a release critical
bug in the package.
