I don't really understand the XKB issue, but I can tell you a bit
about how the server operates on XKB data.

Either one, although input.xkb.layout is preferred (I think).

The server pipes xkb source data to xkbcomp, which outputs a compile
.xkm file. The server then loads the file and destroys it. It happens
twice because once is the keymap for the core keyboard, and once is
the keymap for the device. Hopefully one day this interaction can suck
less, but my guess is that your bug lies elsewhere in XKB.
