xkbcomp symlink horks Breezy install

[Owen Marshall]

Running Breezy, during the typical install task, a problem is encountered.

xkbcomp is installed as /usr/bin/xkbcomp. The installer complains that the symlink
of /etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp points to a xkbcomp in the wrong location.

Install fails for the following packages:
xbase-clients
libgksu1.2-0
libgksuui1.2-0
gksu
gdm
(the list is incomplete, I lost the terminal that had those names :-/)

Workaround:
sudo mv /usr/bin/xkbcomp /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp
sudo rm /etc/X11/xkb/xkbcomp
sudo ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/xkbcomp /etc/X11/xkb

Fix:
Install xkbcomp in /usr/X11R6/bin by default. Or, even better, figure out why xkbcomp needs
that file installed in that specific location, and perhaps remove that check upstream!

According to the X.org changelogs, this has been confirmed and fixed...
