Bug#869667: stretch-pu: package xkeyboard-config/2.19-1

[Pirate Praveen]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: stretch
User: ***@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu

This fixes serious bug #865316 (all Indic language users were unable to
select their keyboard layouts in stretch introducing a regression. This
was caused by an earlier commit upstream which blacklisted Indic
keyboard layouts, upstream was convinced it was a mistake and reverted
the blacklist. This update applies that patch to debian package so
stretch users can type using Indic language keyboards again).

debdiff attached.

The metadata for that bug is rather confused, not least because its
found and fixed lists apply to completely separate packages. Please fix
it so that it's clear which versions of which source packages are
actually affected by the issue.

This looks okay to me, other than this noise in the diff:

--- xkeyboard-config-2.19.orig/debian/files
+++ xkeyboard-config-2.19/debian/files
@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+xkeyboard-config_2.19-1.1_source.buildinfo x11 extra

As the package produces a udeb, this will need an ack from the d-i RM as
well; CCing appropriately.
