Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xkb-data

xkb-data 1.8-1ubuntu8 has cherry picked various commits from xkeyboard-config 1.9 in order to add support for Apple Aluminium keyboard.
Only 6 commits out of 7 have been integrated in the Ubuntu version of package xkb-data.

Unfortunately, the remaining commit (http://cgit.freedesktop.org
/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=dfdc578ae532d6665e6f2c84255168e31fa573e0)
provides the rules that enable the correct keycodes, symbols, geometries
when specifying the XKB model to be applealu_*.

Consequently, the correct XKB settings for Apple Aluminium Keyboards
cannot be activated. For the sake of the example:

> setxkbmap -model applealu_iso -layout fr -option alupckeys -print
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+fr+inet(evdev)+level3(ralt_switch)+macintosh_vndr/apple(alupckeys)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

No specific geometry, or symbols matched. The remaining patch brings the
expected behavior, i.e.:

xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete+numpad(mac)"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "macintosh_vndr/apple(alukbd)+macintosh_vndr/fr+inet(evdev)+level3(ralt_switch)+macintosh_vndr/apple(alupckeys)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "macintosh(applealu_iso)"	};
};
