This commit only provides a partial fix - the top row keys work with this
commit, but some of the dead keys for composing characters with acute and
caron produce garbage.
So far, the only possible fix it to revert the package "kbd" to version
1.15.5 (the version 1.15.5 works in Debian Jessie).
Is it possible to revert the package to a version from Jessie if this bug
were not fixed in time?
