I've tried to rebuild the Squeeze kernel with the patch above (many
thanks for debian/bin/test-patches, it's really convenient, by the way),
and it doesn't really seem to fix the problem. I can set the iso_layout
parameter but it doesn't change anything, and more, it seems to prevent
the xkb-data fix to work from inside X (running setxkbmap -option
apple:badmap doesn't change anything, I have to put it
into /etc/default/keyboard).

So it seems safe to not include it for now in Squeeze kernel, I'll open
a bug upstream and report back when I have more news. The xkb-data fix
alone seems to work fine for now.
