Andreas, Thanks for handling the merges of the duplicate reports of XKB trouble caused by xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-2.
Your machine-gun-like efficiency has helped preserve what little sanity
I have left.
Interestingly, I found out where that backwards-time-warping diff came
from.
It came straight out of a CVS diff command. But not one you might
expect:

As far as I can tell -- and I looked carefully -- this was the only file that
exhibited this crazy behavior.
Bizarre. Completely bizarre.
