x11-xserver-utils includes the script /usr/bin/xkeystone
xkeystone is a nickle script, and x11-xserver-utils does not depend on
nickle, and even if you install nickle the script fails with a massive
amount of syntax errors. (as tested with both bionic and focal
packages).
It's not clear to me what xkeystone is supposed to do - there's no man
page or any documentation I could find. The only thing I was able to
find are various threads where other distros remove this binary, so I
suggest we remove it from ubuntu as well.
