xkb-data is architecture independent, so i386, amd64, etc. doesn't matter. As regards different Ubuntu versions, I have successfully installed and run the xkb-data package in my PPA on trusty, utopic, and vivid installs. So even if it was built in utopic, you can install and test it in trusty if you like.

If there proves to be a consensus on this approach to deal with the issue - possibly after some modifications - we should better leave the PPAs and propose that it's included in the archives, both in Ubuntu and upstream.

In other words, I hope that a few users install xdb-data from my PPA, test, and give feedback here.

Of course it's ok - this is free software. ;) But, as I just said, it's not necessary for testing on trusty.
