Okay, wow, upstream closed that without delay. So it seems upstream feels that these files are NOT intended to be end- user configurable files, and have rejected the bug report. Given that, I think I'm just going to drop the bits from the README.Debian entirely. The approach seems a bit hackish anyway, and as you point out, prone to get overwritten on upgrade.
What I might suggest, if you still would like an ability to do this, is that you file a wishlist bug upstream to support keyboard layout customizations, so we can get proper support added for it. -- /etc/X11/xkb/base.xml is ignored (wrong documentation) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297428 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
