I've finally found the really correct solution:

To use type 5 keyboards, use "sun6". This even makes the Compose-key
and all those other special keys work.

This is coherent with base.xml's description of sun6:

    <model>
      <configItem>
        <name>sun6</name>
        <description>Sun Type 5/6</description>
        <vendor>Sun Microsystems</vendor>
      </configItem>
    </model>

Looks like sun5 support was merged into sun6 and sun5 simply
abandoned.

Hochachtungsvoll,
