Public bug reported:

Please investigate whether it is possible to use ayatana-indicator-
keyboard instead of indicator-keyboard.

This is a good way to stop using libgnomekbd in the keyboard indicator
(LP: #2136945)

ayatana-indicator-keyboard is used by Lomiri.

If ayatana-indicator-keyboard is a drop-in replacement, this task could be as 
simple as
1. Turn indicator-keyboard into a transitional package. Transitional packages 
generally need to be kept until they are included in an Ubuntu LTS.
2. Switch Depends and Recommends from indicator-keyboard to 
ayatana-indicator-keyboard. The reverse-depends tool helps identify affected 
packages.

Or maybe code changes are needed.

Generally, you should try to use ayatana components wherever possible so
that maintenance is shared with people outside Ubuntu Unity.
