Maybe you could add a postinst script that creates the symlinks. IIRC
the "old" README.Debian said that one should use the -xkbdir Option to
X11 to specify the xkb-data directory. This worked without a problem
here, so I wonder if you just need to create 2 symlinks in
/usr/share/X11/xkb-data for compiled and xkbcomp in a postinst script
if the xserver-xorg Version is <7.0 (or some such).

Then the README.Debian should point out both possibilities, i.e. using
-xkbdir and moving /etc/X11/xkb out of the way to make place for a
symlink.

Just my 2¢ however.
