Bug#514975: xkb-data: Keyboard unuseable with version 1.5-2

Severity: grave

I upgraded from xkb-data 1.4-1 to 1.5-2. From there on I couldn't use
my keyboard under X any longer. Every keystroke activated the
scroll-lock LED which had to be switched off again by another
keystroke. It seemed to me as if a Ctrl-key was permanently "pressed" in the
background. I suppose this has something to do with the level-5
modifiers, but even when I commented the respective lines out, I was
unable to fix the effect. I had to force a downgrade to the old
version again.
