No, there seems to be more to it than that.

And in a freshly upgraded chroot:

I think the empty /var/lib/xkb/ may be a symptom rather than a root
cause.  Guessing that in the buildd's there's no keyboard so no compiled
xkb keymap is going to get generated.

Martin, can you elaborate on how you're reproducing it?  Are you doing
it in a local chroot or on a buildd?
