Bug#364363: xkb-data: custom keyboard layout no longer works

[Benoît Dejean <benoit@placenet.org>]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-5
Severity: normal

Hi,
	i've been using a custom keyboard layout on my ibook for
more than a year. It's derived from the popular fr_new layout. Tonight,
i've dist-upgrade my SID :
- whatever the X log says, it's not loaded 

(**) Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
(**) XKB: rules: "xorg"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
(**) XKB: model: "macintosh"
(**) Option "XkbLayout" "fr_new"
(**) XKB: layout: "fr_new"
(**) Option "CustomKeycodes" "on"
(**) Keyboard: CustomKeycode disabled

with 

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "macintosh"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "fr_new"
EndSection


- custom keys are no longer available (pipe, french guillement, brackets,
square brackets)
- i can't switch to consoles (ctrl-alt-F<N>) anymore
- for example, right-arrow is no longer usable
it acts like a Home key. xev confirms it.

So using my ibook is really hard to use. Filling this bugreport was really
painfull.

Thanks.
