What do you mean? What's wrong with it?

No, this is correct.

What is the name of it when you set it in your distro? I can use that to
generate the .gkb file for use in GRUB. Note that the layout in GRUB
does not affect the layout in GNU/Linux, where you can still use colemak.

For information on adding keymaps to libreboot's GRUB configuration, see:
https://libreboot.org/docs/grub/index.html#grub_keyboard

Add them in the right place on a freshly cloned libreboot repository,
then commit it and send a patch if you like:
https://libreboot.org/git/

Note that we're replacing the build system, but this will be adapted in
the new one.

I've added a link to this on the download page now, although it was
already linked on the homepage.

Yes, this is self-explanatory.
