How can I change the keyboard layout from default (GB? US?) to anything else?
I tried various methods from posts related to debian but these fail. Installing and executing raspi-config does not help.

After having installed raspi-config I also had to install
keyboard-setup
console-data
console-setup
Running raspi-config afterwards and changing locale settings worked like a charm!

raspi-config should work out of the box. But it is interactive, and you have to have to run it from the console via a keyboard or it won't show the keyboard menu. (I guess the idea is that if you're not using the keyboard, you don't need to change the keyboard).
But you can edit the file /etc/default/keyboard. As an example, I just change XKBLAYOUT from "gb" to "us". Then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=noninteractive keyboard-configuration. Once done, you'll probably need to reboot for it to take effect.
