Wait Wati. Please first tell me what do you mean by Arabic numerals and what by Hindi numerals?? The names are really confusing. Better you tell me in Unicode values: U+0030..U+0039 is the European digits, and U+0660..U+0669 is the set written in Arabic script. Now what you call which?
Moreover, with keymaps, it's not that hard. It would be nice if you start the initiative to check with all countris through people living there. Finally, either we use the symlink trick, or the inclusion. You can include other files in your keymap, so this way you can simply put the basic Arabic layout in a file, Arabic digits in another file, ... and simply include pieces they like for each country... ...Or we can go for a release without that too.
