Bug#648151: no keyboard at all due to bad /etc/default/keyboard

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@aixigo.de>]

Package: x11-xkb-utils
Version: 7.5+5

If I set /etc/default/keyboard to

	XKBMODEL="pc105"
	XKBLAYOUT="us"
	XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"
	XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

then the keyboard on X is dead.  .xinitrc.log shows

The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Error:            No Symbols named "nodeadkeys" in the include file "us"
>                   Exiting
>                   Abandoning symbols file "default"

It would be more wise to ignore the "nodeadkeys", or to
fall back to pc101 layout. Without keyboard you cannot
fix the problem. That is fatal.
