I didn't find it:
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/x11/
or anywhere else ...
Also: I never, IIRC, played with xkb in the last years. What I do is
simply load my edited version of ~/.xmodmap.
Before testing your package I'd like to know what previous versions of
xkb files I need to back up to make sure I don't get locked out of X
because I cannot type a correct passwd any more to get logged in .. :)
I'm on a Powerbook5,8 -- with a qwertz (DE) keyboard.
Thanks in anticipation, and for all of your work.
Best Regards
Wolfgang
