Attached.  If they seem ok, please feel free to add them to your
upstream package in i386/olpc/.

Sure.  For completeness, I'm appending here the other branch
of this thread:

Ok.  I don't fully understand how the lookup works in loadkeys.
Do we have to prepend "olpc-" to the maps we customize?

Is there a way to make this search happen automatically and fall
back to qwerty if the olpc variant doesn't exist?

For xkb, we have moved the layout configuration entirely in the
manufacturing data in ROM, so we'd not have to hardcode keyboard
tables in all OSes that support OLPC.
