I am unable to reproduce this problem with the same version of the
XFree86 packages.

Have you customized your /etc/X11/xkb directory in some way?  If you
have not (to your knowledge), please reinstalling the xlibs package with
the --force-confmiss and --force-confnew options passed to dpkg.

This should be possible with the following command:

apt-get --reinstall --option="DPkg::Options=--force-confmiss,--force-confnew" install xlibs

Don't most French keyboards have 105 keys, anyway, so shouldn't the
pc105 model be used?
