Hi, [ X-Debbugs-CC set to upstream author as this is not debian specific issue. ]
The attached patch implements "numKeyRows" option that allows a keyboard layout to specify how many rows it has. The old hardcoded number of rows (6) is the default so that existing layouts should work without changes.
