Swâmi, We've all laid out these arguments many times over. Yes, this issue is frustrating (and I regret having vented some of my own frustration in my first comments) but let's keep it civil.
There are proposed solutions. I, for one, think Andreas' proposal is the best way out of the current dead lock as it would allow each and everyone of us to configure the fr-oss layout the way we want it. It's now up to Sergey and Nicolas to decide how to move this forward.

The problem started when APT has updated the xkd-data from 2.5-1ubuntu1 to 2.5-1ubuntu1.2. If I switch back to 2.5.-1ubuntu1 using Synaptic, it works back.
