Quite.
Seems ibus in Squeeze supports xkb (not all keys, typically not Shift
variants), but not AltGr.

Wrong. Ibus in Wheezy does not support xkb (or support is quite
incomplete), but supports AltGr. Fewer keys work with AltGr if you
enable "Use system keyboard layout", though.
Below is a quick and ugly workaround I did to make hi-phonetic.mim work
"as documented" (with 3 exceptions) in Wheezy for a Norwegian system
keyboard layout. It might be useful for other users with latin derived
keyboards. Do similarly for other mim files you want to use.
However, you might prefer to just skip such a "latin fix" and disable
"Use system keyboard layout": Then the default layout of the devenagari
letters is more systematic (although on the "wrong" keys) and more keys
are available for you to add your own systematic/phonetic mappings,
making typing faster and more logical. For example AltGr works on more
keys, both shifted and unshifted. - I prefer this approach.
Anyway, here is the Norwegian fix when you want to use system keyboard
layout:
$ mkdir ~/.m17n.d
$ cp /usr/share/m17n/hi-phonetic.mim ~/.m17n.d
Then edit the file "~/.m17n.d/hi-phonetic.mim" and insert the lines
marked with ";; Latin fix", shown below the lines that are supposed to
work ("G-x" is mim-talk for "AltGr-x"):
("@" ?ॅ)
((G-2) ?ॅ) ;; Latin fix
;; The "@" is on the "2" key on a latin2 keyboard
("$" ?ॉ)
((G-4) ?ॉ) ;; Latin fix
("{" ?ढ)
((G-7) ?ढ) ;; Latin fix
("[" ?ड)
((G-8) ?ड) ;; Latin fix
("}" ?ऱ)
((G-0) ?ऱ) ;; Latin fix
;((G-R) ?ऱ) ;; A somewhat more phonetic location

((G-9) ?ऋ) ;; Latin fix
;((G-r) ?ऋ) ;; A somewhat more phonetic location
("^" "ज्ञ")
((dead_diaeresis) "ज्ञ");; <= Latin2 workaround: Must use different key
;((G-j) "ज्ञ") ;; A somewhat more phonetic location

("~" ?ऎ)

("`" ?ॆ)
((G-6) ?ॆ) ;; <= Norwegian workaround: Must use different key
Save the file and right-click the ibus systray icon and select
"restart". That's it.
Hopefully, somebody has a better fix...
Best regards,
Tore
