[kbd] Missing macbook keymaps

Hello,

One of our users reported that some keymaps for his/her macbook are 
missing, which s/he was able to find in Debian.

The keymaps:
- mac-macbook-de
- mac-macbook-fr

Probably also add/create english version if it is not some default one.

These keymaps are available in package "console-data"[1] in Debian.

Environment:
HW: MacBookPro12,1 early 2015 model, the 13" intel iris 6100 gpu only.
OS: Artixlinux (Archlinux with simple init systems)

If there is some missing information I included the original reporter in 
CC.

Best regards,
Juraj Oravec

Do I understand correctly that I add these two keymaps from console-data ?

These files are very old. They are clearly not for modern macbooks.
As far as I remember they are for old macintosh.

The keymap for Apple USB keyboard/trackpad (ISO), Swedish was added
recently. Unfortunately it is only for Swedish.

I do not use these keymaps. I have a MacBookPro8,1 and I'm using the
i386/qwerty/ruwin_cplk-UTF-8.map on it.

nsklaus, keymaps from i386 don't suit you?
