Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xkb-data
In Hardy /etc/X11/xkb/base.xml used to be the configuration file for
keyboard layouts shown in gnome-keyboard-properties. This has changed in
Intrepid, but /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.Debian (in the section
"Customised layouts") still recommends to change this file for
customised layouts. (xkb-data 1.3-2ubuntu4)
Gnome now completely ignores it (you can rename the file without
consequences), instead it uses /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml. It
took me some time to find out, so I'd like the information in the readme
updated. My other guess is that the information is correct, but
evdev.xml should be a symlink to base.xml, since its pretty much the
same (and /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst should point to
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst).
I hope this is the right place for this "bug", even not sure if it is a
bug ...
