Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, upgraded from the 8.04 beta. The issue exists
in 7.10 as well, I didn't test any other versions.

In the swiss keyboard layout the keys "bar" and "brokenbar" (i.e. "|"
and "¦") are inverted. "bar" should be "Right Alt" + "7", but is "Right
Alt" + "1", and vice versa for "brokenbar".

I have attached a patch to the symbols file which fixes the issue for
me. I will also add a picture of my keyboard so you can verify this.
Some very old keyboards seem to have the layout as it is in the current
symbols file, but every new keyboard (I have one that is at least 5
years old) I've seen so far has the layout described here. Notebook
keyboards included.
