Seems to be a bug in my fix: The french layout only has layout variants
"extended" and "nodeadkeys", not "basic", and as I defined "mac" to be
an alias for "basic", that fails:

Error: No Symbols named "basic" in the include file "macintosh_vndr/fr"
       Exiting
       Abandoning symbols file "mac"
       Abandoning symbols file "(null)"

xkeyboard-config is the name of a source package, i.e. a package from
which the ubuntu developers build the binary packages you install.
According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/karmic/xkeyboard-config
the only binary package built from xkeyboard-config is xkb-data. So
that's all right.
