I disagree that it's a typo.  The intent of the us_intl symbols file
appears to be making alternate keysyms available when the group is
toggled.

To make the change you request would be inconsistent with the rest of
the definitions in the symbols file.

However, I'll admit that I know little about the actual intentions of
the us_intl symbols file, its relationship to ISO 9995-3, and so forth.

I'm leaving this bug open until I get more information.  Also setting
severity to minor since the current behavior doesn't prevent you from
doing anything.
