That's too bad, because there are people out there that can't move to
anything newer than 6.8.2, at least for xserver-xorg. Me beeing one of
them. However I'd really like to use xkb-data because it has support for
all those fance multimedia-keys I regurlarly use on my keyboard. Of
course I can just "patch" xkb from xlibs-data, but I may have to do this
after every xlibs-data update...

This fixes the problem here, could you please enhance the README.Debian
with this information?
