Hi, thanks for the patch! I've uploaded it to zesty. I don't know if it
counts as severe enough to be SRUed to yakkety, can start that process
if you think it is :)

Noticed that the code causing the crash is only in the Ubuntu package,
specifically debian/patches/loadkeys_ckbcomp.diff, so I refreshed the
patch with the include and made a debdiff.
