The ship has sailed for buster r0 but trying to get that merged into a later point release, I've just double-checked the effects of this patch. By “diffing” below I mean checking the control (config script) area of the keyboard-configuration binary package. Diffing an unpatched package built in sid, against a patched package built in sid: plenty of changes that look good. Diffing an unpatched package built in stretch, against the same patched package built in sid: fewer changes, but those can be explained by different xkb-data versions (which is the “source” via Build-Depends, for all those changes). Diffing an unpatched package built in stretch but using unstable's xkb-data, against the same patched package built in sid: no changes at all. So I'm quite convinced that the proposed patch makes it possible to build the package properly, without any/other side effects that we wouldn't have seen. I'm therefore uploading 1.192 to unstable right now to fix this bug there, and I'm taking a note to propose 1.192~deb10u1 through pu. Thanks again, Iain; and apologies for the delay.
