But this bug affects a lot of people who use a national keyboard layout with a U.S. English keyboard layout. I believe that this bug is important as it causes a major malfunction. Is there no way to get this into stable? I am using the stable distribution and I naturally ran into this problem. I can and I have patched my /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us file but I would rather have this bug fixed in the stable distribution. I believe that many users of the stable distribution would be affected from this bug just like I am. Thank you, situert __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Does this mean that this bug won't be fixed in stable (Etch)?

No, I included all of the changes between the layout
file shipped with Debian and the latest one in the CVS
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/symbols/us?view=co
so that the latest version of the file would be in Debian.
However, the essential lines are the ones with ""
and "" in them. I am attaching a more to-the-point
version of the patch.

Bug#421532: Missing line in US keyboard layout
Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.9-4
Severity: important
Hello,
My system is Debian 4.0 (Etch) with X.org 7.1.1 on
an i686.
When I execute the following command:
setxkbmap -layout tr,us -option grp:alts_toggle
and change the layout to the US layout by pressing both
Alt keys at the same time, the key just above the right
shift key acts like it got stuck in the Turkish keyboard
layout. To be specific, it prints "," and ";" with shift
instead of "\" and "|" with shift. I found out that this
occurs because of a missing line in US layout's xkb
symbols file which is
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us
If the attached patch is applied to the mentioned file
then this problem ceases to exist.
Note: The attached patch is a patch to the latest
version of the US keyboard layout file from the
CVS of freedesktop.org. Please see:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/symbols/us?view=co
for the latest version of the US keyboard layout.
For a more detailed description of this bug and
a more lengthy way of reproducing it in GNOME,
please see:

Please see the following for even more information:

Thank you for your attention.
