Uploaded to experimental via the NEW queue few hours ago, source is
xkeyboard-config and binary is named xkb-data.
This first version Replaces/Provides/Conflicts with xlibs, but I
believe that this does not work because several packages have a
versioned dependency on xlibs.
Any idea to have a working transition from xlibs to xkb-data?
