Changing Console Keyboard on Raspberry Pi

I'm ramping up on using Raspberry Pi as a scanner development machine. As such, I'm installing all the usual suspects: sane, libusb, PIL, matplotlib, and numpy.

The default console keyboard isn't "us". As a US keyboard user, I found things like | (pipe) weren't working for me.

The console keyboard is configured in /etc/default/keyboard.  See also keyboard(5).  I changed KBDLAYOUT="gb" to KBDLAYOUT="us" and rebooted. Voila! My keyboard now works.
