Yes, that's looking much better (tested by going back to 2.42-1 and
upgrading to 2.46-2), and that should help most users indeed.

That doesn't seen to work for those who would have keyboards-rg
installed though:

    Preparing to unpack .../xkb-data_2.46-2_all.deb ...
    dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: file '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pancyr' not owned by package 'xkb-data:all'
    dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: file '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sk_rg' not owned by package 'xkb-data:all'
    dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: file '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sk_snk' not owned by package 'xkb-data:all'
    dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: file '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/eo_rg' not owned by package 'xkb-data:all'
    dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: directory '/usr/share/X11/xkb' contains files not owned by package xkb-data:all, cannot switch to symlink
    dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/xkb-data_2.46-2_all.deb (--install):
     new xkb-data package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

I'm not sure how that would be best solved, possibly by just switching
that package's files from the old location to the new one, without
having to add any kind of specific relationship towards xkb-data?

Adding maintainer to the loop for awareness (and not planning to dive
into this any deeper at this point).


Cheers,
