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

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.

Closing as the issue was caused by invalid configuration, and was never
an x11-xkb-utils bug.  It's possible the fallback behaviour in the X
server has been improved by now though?
