Correcting to correct package

[Nigel Babu (nigelbabu)]

Thanks for the patch Victor, could you please forward the it upstream too?

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

The Ubuntu archive admins rejected the patch from being included in Ubuntu because they felt the patch wasn't quite right. So that means this needs to get taken upstream first.

While this is certainly a legitimate issue, it's not severe enough to fix post-release, especially if it poses risk of introducing a regression against other users. So I'm wontfixing the Lucid task - but leaving it open as a normal bug.

Thanks for the report.

The quotation character is something that people in a country use official in the documents, etc.
Therefore, to have this changed, the typically thing to do is find some official reference that shows the expected quotation marks for Kazakh are different.

You may contact the author for the Kazakh locale for help on this issue,
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/kk_KZ;hb=HEAD

Once you have information for the official quotation character, then you can submit a change for the 'kk' keyboard layout at the 'xkeyboard-config' project.
