No, I've found the answer: There are a few ISO language codes, that
have been changed over time. "iw" really was used for Hebrew, but
"he" is the "modern" ID. (Java apparently converts "he" back to "iw"
for compatibility with old software ...)

Anyway, the INDEX.keymap file used both "iw" and "he" in different
sections of the file, but the keymap command only derives "he" from
the locale, if it is set to "he_IL".

I have been convinced to only use country codes for keymap file
names (as far as possible) and thus the Hebrew keyboard is not
named "il.kbd" (avoiding both "iw" and "he" ... ;-) ).
