I forgot to ask you why you used "us_fr" instead of what upstream uses.

Yup. I took a look at setxkbmap.c but stopped when I (maybe falsely)
assumed that the problem wasn't there.

MASTER_SITES = http://marin.jb.free.fr/qwerty-fr/sources/
is enough, it's more readable and easier for people to take a look at
new versions when ''make peek-ftp'' doesn't work because MASTER_SITES
only lists http:// uris.
