Package: xkb-data Version: 1.3-2 Severity: normal The keyboard layout for Urdu Language 'pk' in /usr/share/X11/xkb does not join alphabates or letters properly. which makes writing impossible for urdu language users using this keyboard layout. The problem disappeared when the default layout was replaced with a custom made layout downloadable from this location: http://ubuntu.sabza.org/wp-content/pk I suggest that the keyboard layout in debian is either replaced with this keyboard layout or it should be modified to use this the layout as described in this custom layout. it should also be released as a patch since without this change lenny's out of box urdu write support will remain broken.
