See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2121106 for the
background on this. One of Fedora's QA folks ran an install
and chose two keyboard layouts: Czech (qwerty) and US. Due to
the sad details of how the whole logic flow for trying to decide
what kbd layout best matches a given xkb config works (see
details in the bug comments), we wound up deciding the best-
matching kbd layout for this situation was cz-us-qwertz, which
is a czech/us switched layout, but is qwertz, not qwerty. This
seems like a poor outcome. Adding this line should result in us
picking cz-qwerty in this case. Which may be the 'legacy'
cz-qwerty.map from upstream kbd project (which is switched
cz/us), or may be the auto-converted xkb layout (which obviously
isn't switched). But either way, at least its primary mode is
Czech qwerty, which seems like a *better* choice than a layout
whose primary mode is Czech qwertz.

kbd-model-map was generated from system-config-keyboard's keyboard_models.py.
Several of the kbd layouts referred in that file do not exist and, so far as I
can tell, never did. I believe these entries existed simply to provide the xkb
configuration information for those layouts, and there never were matching kbd
entries; the kbd names were entirely notional, to satisfy the need for some
entry or other in that field.
For systemd, the only function of kbd-model-map is to 'match' kbd and xkb
configurations, so it does not make any sense to maintain entries for cases
where only one or the other exists in this context.
