It's not exactly this issue, but it's still related to Frans' concern
about "origin" of keyboards:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21046
Bug 21046 – express that the us layout makes the majority in a bunch
of countries
In short, upstream agreed that the nl layout should have something like
a "uk" variant, however Sergey doesn't know how that should be called,
and neither do I. Could NL people comment on the bug?
