I've tried to sidestep this by tweaking xkbdir in our debian/rules but
that's not sufficient, I'm seeing a number of:
./kbdcompiler: ckbcomp failed
Team members might find the pu/master branch useful as a starting point
to pick this up (I thought this was an easy upload waiting to happen,
but I don't have enough time to dig deeper).
