Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-11
Severity: normal
Due to a screwup on my part, I had to purge and reinstall xlibs. To my
surprise, the postrm script deleted the entire /etc/X11/xkb directory,
which contained a couple of customized keyboard definitions and a RCS
directory where I stored my changes. Me doesn't think this is good...
