No, because one may use xkb-data without an X server, for instance I believe that the console keyboard driver for the Hurd uses those XKB files. This dependency would then be harmful to them. Xkb-data may conflict with xorg 6.9, but xkb-data is in experimental and will be available in unstable along with xorg 7.0, thus I believe that this conflict is not needed. Of course I am not happy with the current situation, breaking XKB is no fun for users. If there is a note in /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.Debian about xorg 6.9, do you believe that this is enough to close this bug report?
