Title:
  No phonetic Russian layout for azerty keyboards

Status in “xkeyboard-config” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Users of azerty keyboards lack of Russian phonetic layout. Their only option is to use phonetic qwerty. This is not really acceptable, so I propose to add support with the attached patches for azerty Russian phonetic wit the following variants:
   - ru(phonetic_azerty):         basic phonetic azerty
   - ru(phonetic_winkeys_azerty): basic phonetic azerty, with WinKeys
   - ru(phonetic_fr):             French specific phonetic azerty. This completes the 3rd level  following the French layout (Alt Gr + a key) 
   - ru(phonetic_winkeys_fr):     same, with WinKeys

  base.xml.patch    patches   /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml
  base.lst.patch    patches   /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
  evdev.xml.patch   patches   /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml
  ru.patch          patches   /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ru

  Please tell me if anything is wrong or could be improved. Please also
  note that I know almost nothing of the Russian language and its
  Cyrillic alphabet so there could be errors.

  We also could want to add this layout for users coming from Windows
  and used to it : http://tnit.fr/aa.htm

  Cheers,
  Raphaël.
