Bug#994036: xkb-data: gives lots of internal errors with xkbcomp on XF86* keysyms
Control: forcemerge 953032 994036
Now, due to the comments below, these are the same bug.
Note that in my case, this doesn't fill the logs, because I execute
xkbcomp just once just after starting X (but there may be good reasons
to execute it much more often).
