Bug#287176: xlibs: all letter keys are dead in us_intl keyboard layout

That was, in fact, the source of the bug. I don't know why, but 'include
"pc/us"' was missing from /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/us_intl. I added it back
in, and the mapping works correctly now.
Thank you for helping me to resolve this so quickly. I've been trying to get
it working on my own for a week or more, and you just helped me to solve it
in less than a day.
Should I close the bug now, or is there anything else that needs to be done
about it? I.e., I don't know why I got a bad us_intl file in the first
place. But maybe that's a packaging problem-- different bug?
Best,
Andrew.
