Control: severity -1 important This really should be fixed ASAP, and also in stretch.

Looking at libgnome-desktop/gnome-xkb-info.c in src:gnome-desktop3, what you mentioned about the variant changing things might be connected to this part of the add_layout_to_locale_tables() function: | lang_codes = layout->iso639Ids; | country_codes = layout->iso3166Ids; | | if (layout->is_variant) | { | if (!lang_codes) | lang_codes = layout->main_layout->iso639Ids; | if (!country_codes) | country_codes = layout->main_layout->iso3166Ids; | } So depending on the is_variant flag, we get overriden values for {lang,country}_codes, looking at a layout->main_layout instead of just layout? I haven't double checked this by inserting some gdb or print statements though. KiBi.
