when we introduced the udev config backend we mostly agreed that we weren't
going to use udev as a config storage (which is how InputClass was
conceived). Debian ships them because there was some release timing conflict
where the udev patches where ready but the InputClass bits weren't but aside
from Debian I don't expect any distro to set the xkb config via udev.

aside from bikeshedding that I prefer -xkb-layout over -xkblayout this makes
sense.
