I had the same Problem with German keyboards. I too prefered not to
use German as language.

  <install>
     <general>
       <keyboard>
         <keymap>german</keymap>
       </keyboard>
       <language>en_US</language>
     </general>
  </install>

didn't worked. I found that an additional sysconfig entry worked
as easy workaround.

     <sysconfig config:type="list">
       <sysconfig_entry>
         <sysconfig_key>KEYTABLE</sysconfig_key>
         <sysconfig_path>keyboard</sysconfig_path>
         <sysconfig_value>de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz</sysconfig_value>
       </sysconfig_entry>
     </sysconfig>


You will find an Norwegian KEYTABLE in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/*/*
