Valid point. But such users might also run into troubles just by
attaching another keyboard.
Or, when you look at the git log of xkeyboard-config, just by some new
update of it.
Actually it seems that these schema changes, seem to happen much more
often than this storm against my report and my person in specifc would
make one believe, see e.g. commits:
f1868bdacb4c227e1daa4088fb28f5968874a38e

Am I know expected to insult you as well? Guess I'm not up to date, what
Debian's CoC actually demands, it only seems to be usable when being
against me but not for myself ;-)
Anyway, to finally end this ugly matter on the Debian side, I've
forwarded the pointer about this possible issue upstream, so that they
can choose to have what Debian didn't want to do - a proper look at the
matter.
It should be noted for those who seems to accuse me of bad faith, that
I, personally, use a custom keymapping anyway,... so I don't care much
whether it's left as is or not.
Cheers,
Chris.
