QWERTY variant of Slovak keybaord---missing?

Hello,

Occassionally, I need to use Slovak keyboard layout. I (and I guess many if not most Slovaks) are
used to QWERTY rather than QWERTZ.

Previous Debian versions included this file:

	/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sk_qwerty

so that within

	/etc/X11/xorg.conf

I could make use of it as follows:

	Option          "XkbLayout"     "us,sk_qwerty"
	Option          "XkbOptions"    "grp:menu_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

But `sk_qwerty' file disappeared? Is this an ommision or some purpose? I see only

	/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sk

which is QWERTZ. Am I right?

The difference between these two files is small:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
debian:/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols$ diff sk_qwerty sk
1c1
< // $XKeyboardConfig: xkbdesc/symbols/sk,v 1.8 2005-01-16 02:18:20 svu Exp $
- ---
> // $XKeyboardConfig: xkbdesc/symbols/sk,v 1.8 2005/01/16 02:18:20 svu Exp $
36c36
<     key <AD06>        { [         y,          Y,     NoSymbol,     NoSymbol ] };
- ---
>     key <AD06>        { [         z,          Z,     NoSymbol,     NoSymbol ] };
61c61
<     key <AB01>        { [         z,          Z,       degree,     NoSymbol ] };
- ---
>     key <AB01>        { [         y,          Y,       degree,     NoSymbol ] };
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

but it is worth to have both variants (I am not sure about QWERTZ though, but I am certainly for
QWERTY variant for sure).

The changes are somehow related to transition from

	http://packages.debian.org/etch/xkb-data-legacy

to

	http://packages.debian.org/etch/xkb-data

Should I report this as a (minor) bug of `xkb-data' or did I misunderstood something?

Best regards,
