I checked differences between /etc/X11/xkb-data/rules/xorg.xml

are caused by comments in the latter file. I am reassigning
this bugreport to libxklavier10, IMO it should not be confused
by comments in xorg.xml. If this cannot be fixed easily, please
let us know, we may remove these comments from xorg.xml, but
fixing libxklavier10 is a much better solution for the long term.
Many thanks for doing the hard work! I have altered libxklavier so that
it doesn't bug out if there is a comment under any of the
/xkbConfigRegistry/optionList/group elements of the XML file.
Comments anywhere else in the file may still cause similar failures, but
I think that's a job for upstream.
If the attached patch is acceptable, you will probably have to NMU
libxklavier; the last upload by the maintainer was in August 2004.
