The penultimate paragraph says that you should copy _some_ file from
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

The file that I mentioned is the one relevant to key inputs, but you could
have used say the 10-input.fdi or made one up yourself that ends in fdi.

No, I was rather incomplete in my reply, which ended up confusing the matter.

This is mine:

============================================
Now, if you are only using one language, you only need line 19 in your example
and insert a new line between your 19 and 20 that says: <merge
key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>
(all on one line)
HTH and sorry for giving an incomplete answer at the start.
