See /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/{group,alt}

More ideas for configuration options:

- put Mode_switch on either Alt_L or Meta_L and keep the original symbol
  accessible with shift. These could probably be new options in the
  group file.

- put Mode_switch on any user configurable key and keep the original
  symbol accessible with shift (if possible). I don't expect this to be
  possible with Xkb though, would probably have to be xmodmap and
  debconf magic. :)
