[Indlinux-group] Move Indian keyboard layouts from base.xml.in to base.extras.xml.in - xkb dead for Indic?!

[Guntupalli K. <kar...@in...>]

A downside of using debian stable, some things miss past.

Move Indian keyboard layouts from base.xml.in to base.extras.xml.in
Apparently the Indian keyboard layouts in xkeyboard-config are not
very useful because of limitations in xkb. In xkb, it is not possible
to output several characters when one key is pressed but that seems
sometimes necessary.

For Indian languages, the input methods supplied by ibus-m17n appear
to be more useful, having the xkb keyboard layouts show up as well in
the gnome-control centre confuse the user because of too many useless
choices.  <<-- Hmm, when 80-90% of indic m17n is just copy of xkb
stuff!
--------

Yes sure all keymaps in single file were bloating it, in which case
would have been better to split language wise. A config file for each
language. 

Seems it was later fixed after some outrage!
