I took it from your directory, as even ftp.debian.org does not have it
(yet).

Well, no change for me, except that it does not crash X anymore :-))
So the following still needs to be done for a german ibook keyboard:
1. When pressing the key between ß? and backspace, I still get
nothing, while I expect ' as printed on the key. With the shift
modifier it works. This is keycode 21.
2. The AltGr-Bracket sequence is still "wrong", i.e. I would like the
PC style version, i.e. (starting at AltGR-7) {[]}\ while I get
(starting at AltGr-5) []|{}}\. This behaviour should be switchable.
Also I still wonder why "}" is on AltGr-9 *and* AltGr-0.
3. AltGr-Q still produces "«" and not "@"
I am happy that you kept AltGr-Y and AltGr-X as "«" and "»".
Also several characters are on several positions, e.g. `, ~, |, «, ß,
}. As of now, I don't see this as a problem, but maybe a general
consensus should be found regarding the AltGr-mapping.

Please let me know if you need more/other feedback.

Thanks for your efforts cleaning this up.
