Bug#531771: xkb-data: level 3 switch not working anymore

[Nicolas Évrard <nicoe@no-log.org>]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: important

Hello,

Since the upgrade the version 1.6, my level 3 switch stopped working
in gdm (but not under gnome).

Here is the relevant information from /etc/default/console-setup

# The following variables describe your keyboard and can have the same
# values as the XkbModel, XkbLayout, XkbVariant and XkbOptions options
# in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
XKBMODEL="macintosh"
XKBLAYOUT="be"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:rwin_switch,ctrl:swapcaps"

I set the severity to grave since people might have special characters
in their password and found themselves locked out of their account if
they don't know how to change it (or how to revert to version 1.5).
