Almost everybody in UTF-8, so fr-dvorak-bepo-utf8 might become fr-bepo and the non-utf8 map fr-bepo-latin9 (or something that make sense).

It might also appear in the changelog that the renaming breaks user config. I can contact Gentoo and Arch Linux packagers, but other distributions may package kbd 2.0 before next release of kbd and I can't check all the little distributions.

Thanks for your time,
