So this is the right® way to have a custom keyboard layout in Debian? I
always edited the files in /usr/share/X11/xkb but everytime xkb-data is
updated they are silently overwritten.
How do I get something like:
key <AB10> { [ slash, underscore, minus ] };

Do you have a good link to share?

Thanks
