### Bug description
After updating today, my keymap was no longer recognized by plymouth luks password screen. It was falling back to en_US.
My update today:
[2026-05-31T14:00:19+0200] upgraded plymouth (24.004.60-14.1 -> 26.134.222-2.1)
I was able to fix it with:
I fixed it for me by adding /etc/vconsole.conf to initramfs:
```
sudo sed -i 's|^FILES=()|FILES=(/etc/vconsole.conf)|' /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
```
Then rebuild:
```
sudo mkinitcpio -P
```
### Steps to reproduce
Use a keymap, other than en-US.
Test on luks screen.
### Expected behavior
keymap is recognized
### Actual behavior
keymap is not recognized, fallback to en-US
