Add /etc/vconsole.conf to initramfs

[flexagoon]

Due to an upstream issue, the disk decryption screen always uses the en-US keyboard layout, even if you selected a different one during install. The suggested workaround is to run rpm-ostree initramfs-etc --track=/etc/vconsole.conf.

I don't know if that's possible, but it would be great if uBlue did that by default.

This is a good suggestion for either https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite or https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin, but changing initramfs configs is probably out of scope on the *-main images.

@ublue-os/approver any thoughts on this?

Unfortunately, I have to agree with @bsherman. While this would be a great addition to downstream images, configuring this here could be problematic in that, for example, someone may want to use a full initramfs configuration or they may not want to enable it at all - in which case they'd need to disable whatever service we add here in their installation or in their image downstream

Do you at least know if this is possible to do in my own uBlue image? I tried to do this with the scripts module, but the rpm-ostree initramfs-etc command requires a booted system

@flexagoon You need to have initramfs-etc (hardware-setup) service which would do that stuff on system. You can check Bazzite repo, they did it in details. You can check mine too, but it's not up to date with Bazzite one due to complexity (didn't find the way to merge their changes without Bazzite specific ones).
