Yes, I thought that you would not quote me ;)
And now I hava network problems at home, so I will reply to the list
via a webmail, sorry for breaking threads :(
Executive summary:
* xkb-data 0.8-9 has been uploaded into unstable with the following
changes for Mac users:
- debian/patches/mac_swap_kp.diff: New patch to swap KP_Delete and
KP_Separator on Mac keyboards.
- debian/patches/mac_nodeadkeys.diff: New patch to fix nodeadkeys
variants, they were badly broken.
and 0.8-10 shortly followed to really fix Mac nodeadkeys variants.
(It does not appear at http://incoming.debian.org/ though, I hope
it will find its way there)
* xkb-data 0.8-10exp1 has been uploaded into experimental; it contains
above changes and also:
- debian/patches/macbook_keycodes.diff.diff: Add a new macbook model
to swap <LSGT> and <TLDE> keycodes for recent Mac boxes.
- Fix French modifiers
The latter package is available at http://people.debian.org/~barbier/tmp/
I would like to know which models have to set XkbModel to "macbook",
any information is welcome.
Back to your mail.

If you want the left key, you can pass
-option lv3:lwin_switch
or
-option lv3:lalt_switch

At the moment I focus on fixing bugs so that users can select their
keyboard layout by editing xorg.conf instead of writing their own
xmodmap file.

It can, or at least if it cannot, Mac keyboards will be as broken as PC
keyboards ;)

Well, let's first fix remaining bugs, we will then discuss advantages
of both methods
