And of course I forgot to mention in my previous email, that I linked
/etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp to xkbcomp provided by 4.3.0 binary package and
after that keyboard mappings work just fine (which is a matter of no
surprise, because xkbcomp delivered in 4.2.1 debian package seg-faults
while loading keyboard definitions).

I also tried XFree86 provided 4.2.0 xkbcomp binary, which worked just
fine.

This gives me a strong feeling of broken debian binary, caused by either
compile time options or other differences between debian binary and
xfree86 provided binary.
