hi,
you are mixing two things;
1. acceptance of patches upsteam (e.g. here with xorg)
    here you find everything in git.

2. packaging the code for users, normally you see the binary code
    only. this is done by the package maintainer. the binaries are 
    distributed as deb (in case of debian) and you can access them
   with agt-get etc.

so, you need to poke the maintainer to release a new packed what
you can install  with apt-get (may be he reading this).

Betreff: Re: Update the keyboard layouts

Following the tags [1] a new version has been released 3 days ago (with your 
commit)

Thanks. I didn't know about this release. To update my current version I tried 
"sudo apt upgrade xkb-data", but I don't think it worked. If I enter "apt-cache 
policy xkb-data" it shows me the following -

xkb-data:
  Installed: 2.26-2
  Candidate: 2.26-2
  Version table:
 *** 2.26-2 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The latest version seems to be 2.30. Can you explain how to install this 
particular version with all necessary updates?
