Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

[Problem]
The Indian government standards requires an "eng" variant to the "in" keyboard layout.

[Impact]
Affects OEM hardware shipping Ubuntu in India.  In particular, the rupee symbol is noticeably absent.

[Development Branch]
This issue is verified fixed in the upstream xkeyboard-config codebase, which is packaged for Natty and will be uploaded once the alpha-2 freeze has lifted.

The upstream fixes are:
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=920cd81d09c26edb9520b4caa6eea45ef79ea396
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=396de5b7138f25e49f4de3a0c871f09f08619867

[Stable Branch]
Backports of both patches to maverick and lucid are very straightforward (just a minor tweak required to one Makefile.am file).

[Test Case]
On affected hardware, attempt to set the keyboard to the English-India keyboard layout.
Or, attempt to use the rupee symbol.

[Regression Potential]
None, is just a keyboard layout configuration addition.  Since this comes from upstream it has been adequately reviewed.  It has been available in the upstream codebase since last September, so it has had plenty of testing time.
