Hi,

Correct me if I'm wrong but that should be something like the names of
these files

/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-fi-ir209.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-lat6.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-fi-lat6.map.gz
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/se-ir209.map.gz

Maybe se-fi-ir209, se-lat6, se-fi-lat6 or se-ir209?
