Arf, thanks :)
BTW several xlibs bugreports should be reassigned, but I do not know
which packages are the culprits.
Here are some thoughts about remaining bugs:
* Macintosh layouts
#234113 #67812 #111905 #121297 #157170 #166478
I have no access to Apple keyboards, so I won't try to fix them,
but will be glad to help if some people from debian-powerpc are
interested. Upstream now ships symbols/apple which might fixes
some of these bugs.
* Hungarian layouts
#33154 #76439 #86539
This layout is special, its behavior under hu_HU locale is different
from other locales. Fixing these bugs certainly require some help
from Hungarian folks.
* altwin:left_meta_win and altwin:meta_win options
#234081 #241034 #164767
Explanations on these bugs have been sent to
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=241034&msg=18
Fixing altwin:left_meta_win is not trivial, but please apply the
patch to fix altwin:meta_win, you could then tell submitters
to use altwin:meta_win instead of altwin:left_meta_win and close
these bugs. (In da.po, "altwin: meta_win" has a spurious space)
One problem with latest XKB bugreports (changes in X 4.3) is that we do
not know if xlibs has to be blamed, or if other apps are modifying XKB
settings. In order to reproduce the reported bugs, I slightly hacked
setxkbmap.c to ignore current server settings. If a -noserver
command-line flag is added (patch attached), we could ask submitters to
run a setxkbmap command and determine if this bug belowgs to xlibs.
