It would be awesome to have these uncertainties cleared, and upstream
xkeyboard-config do what we want, so that we don't have to diverge
forever (also, discussing this with upstream xkeyboard-config might
lead to better settings applied by the proposed temporary
workaround :)

Yes, please.

I suspect they might have their own list of kludges...

I've found no ML for Sardinian in Debian either. Did anyone actually
complained about Tails' default keyboard layout for Sardinian? If not,
I think I'd rather not fixed a problem that nobody is affected by...
and the day we receive a complain, then we'll learn at the same time
what is their preferred keyboard layout :)

Cheers,
