Followup-For: Bug #561185

Hello,

so how are custom layouts supposed to work?

It looks to me like you need to modify the rules file when adding a
layout but that file is not conffile and is not extensible.

Or is extending that file just undocumented?

I have a weird keyboard for which I want to remap a few keys.

Presumably I could make an udev rule that matches the keyboard and
amends /etc/default/keyboard. But what do I amend?

I want layout and options as specified by the user so the only part I
can possibly replace is model. But without rules model is totally
meaningless. You can use symbol file references in layout directly
perhaps but options need rules too.

Thanks

Michal
