I didn't find it:

http://packages.debian.org/experimental/x11/

or anywhere else ...

Also: I never, IIRC, played with xkb in the last years. What I do is
simply load my edited version of ~/.xmodmap. 

Before testing your package I'd like to know what previous versions of
xkb files I need to back up to make sure I don't get locked out of X
because I cannot type a correct passwd any more to get logged in .. :)

I'm on a Powerbook5,8 -- with a qwertz (DE) keyboard.

Thanks in anticipation, and for all of your work.

Best Regards
Wolfgang
