This isn't related to "xkeyboard-config" (what is that, is that a
program?), but to GNOME Control Center and how keyboards are handled in
general.  The properties being described are set in gnome-keyboard-
properties, so:

fafhrd@lornvelpa:~$ dpkg -S `which gnome-keyboard-properties`
gnome-control-center: /usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties

This bug is EXTREMELY annoying to me, as I have to open the keyboard
layout properties every time I plug in a keyboard, to set up my
modifiers -- which, mind you, I'm not actually changing, but just
opening the preferences app, and then clicking 'ok' to close.  Once you
put the Control key in it's "correct" spot  -- next to 'A' -- you simply
cannot go back ;-) -- also, loss and configuration of Compose key, and
other modifiers key locationsm, is confounding.

This also looks to be tightly coupled to ticket #376592 , especially the
comments related to how to set external keyboards plugged into laptops.
To that bug, I would say, also factor in a users's .xmodmap, which GNOME
notifies users that it reads on start-up, and effects the main keyboard,
so should be applied to external ones, possibly (definitely, if keycodes
are the same).
