   With woody xruskb package doesn't need. Simply add (check) this section 
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier	"Generic Keyboard"
    Driver	"keyboard"
    Option	"CoreKeyboard"
    Option	"XkbRules"	"xfree86"
    Option	"XkbModel"	"pc105"
    Option	"XkbLayout"	"ru"
    Option	"XkbOptions" grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection

   RUS/LAT switch is Ctrl+Shift, ScrollLock led is indicator.
