With [ grep -R "^[[:space:]]*include.*;"  ] command either on
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols or on the same in the xkb-data directory in
teh deb pacakge (as in comment #7) we find the bug causing trailing semi
colons are in 12 lines. Searching in the source package which is
xkeyboard-config-1.8 I found that this set of bugs are all caused from
the patch file :

xkeyboard-config-1.8/debian/patches/112_zero-with-spacing.patch

The following grep from the relevant current directory confirmed this :

/xkb-data-bld/xkeyboard-config-1.8/debian/patches$ grep -e "include" ./* |grep ";"
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+	include "nbsp(zwnj3zwj4)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+  include "nbsp(zwnj3zwj4)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "ir(pes_part_basic)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "ir(pes_part_ext)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "nbsp(zwnj2nb3nnb4)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "level3(ralt_switch)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "ir(pes_part_basic)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "ir(pes_part_keypad)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "nbsp(zwnj2nb3nnb4)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "level3(ralt_switch)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+  include "nbsp(zwnj2nb3s)";
./112_zero-with-spacing.patch:+    include "nbsp(zwnj2)";
 
So I edited that patch file to remove those 12 trailing semi-colons and with the addition of my signature to Debian changelog and version number change for my PPA, I used "debuild" for building source changes for uploading to PPA's build farm. 

The PPA build-farm built deb packages for xkb-data for Ubuntu Lucid are
available from my PPA :

https://launchpad.net/~skhome/+archive/xkb-data-bugfix

(Instructions for adding apt line address of a PPA to an user's source lists are given in that page - under topic :
 "Adding this PPA to your system" ) 

The user can update xkb-data from buggy 1.8-1ubuntu4 version to bug
removed 1.8-1ubuntu4ppakse1~lucid1 version with the above PPA added to
the system

 I have added as attachment the debdiff file I made ( as per usage guide
for debdiff command in :
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff ) . Hopefully
it is useful for moving forward.
