Bug Description
Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
In bug #323041 there was a patch submitted that added 4 keyboard layouts for crimean tatar.
The patch was somewhat big, adding those keyboard layouts to all countries where Crimean Tatars are known to live whithout consideration to the number of tatars in any of those countries.
In Romania there are many ethnic groups:
* Romanian 89.5%
* Hungarian 6.6%
* Roma 2.5%
* Serbian 0.3%
* Ukrainian 0.3%
* German 0.3%
* Russian 0.2%
* Turkish 0.2%
* other 0.4%
In the other 0.4% there are Greek, Croatian, Crimean Tatar and then some more ethnic groups. That renders the total Tatar population to less than 25000 people (the data is gathered from Wikipedia and other Romanian demographic sources).
I'm not advocating removing all these keyboard layouts: I believe they should have their right to their ethnic identity, but I don't think there should be so many layouts. If every ethnic group would do the same we'd have over 40 keyboard layouts.
As can be seen in bug #323041, these layouts were modified in a few patches, as they seem to not be standardized (correct me if I'm wrong).
The number of keyboard layouts for Crimean Tatars in Romania should be reduced.

I've notified Bhavani Shankar and Reşat SABIQ because they introduced the four new keyboard layouts for Romanian Crimean Tatars and they should know best how to proceed with this issue.
