In ckbcomp there are many lines with "Is this recognised by X ?".  If
these lines are commented, it will bi able to find more spelling
mistakes.  I wasn't sure which of these keysyms are valid and which
are not.

I couldn't find any Unicode for Hangul.  Or this is some control key?

It seams the only way to make

     -model macintosh -layout de nodeadkeys

equivalent with

     -model macintosh -layout de mac_nodeadkeys

is for each layout-variant combination to add a specific rule in the
rules file.

This is possible if console-setup uses its own rules file.  But then
it would be impossible to use directly the configuration of
console-setup in X.
