Bug#467142: xkb-data: Please update en_US.UTF-8/Compose file from the upstream

[Teemu Likonen <tlikonen@iki.fi>]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.9-4
Severity: wishlist


Quite recently the default Finnish keyboard layout has changed. The
current default is now called fi(kotoistus). It contains some
keymappings which don't work with the Compose file shipped with Debian
Sid. I'm referring to this file:

/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

(This file is used with fi_FI.UTF-8 locale as well.)

For example the Debian Sid's en_US.UTF-8/Compose lacks dead_stroke
definitions. Also definitions for U+01EE and U+01EF (latin capital/small
letter ezh with caron) are missing.

The current upstream version of en_US.UTF-8/Compose.pre has these
updates¹. I ask you to update the file before the release of Debian
Lenny.

 1. Dead strokes were added in the upstream git commit
