? /usr/share/X11/xkb is not a file, but a directory. keyboards-rg
contains

keyboards-rg: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/eo_rg
keyboards-rg: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pancyr
keyboards-rg: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sk_rg
keyboards-rg: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sk_snk

which are not in xkb-data, so I don't see why we would have a conflict.
I tried installing keyboards-rg, it does unpack fine concurrently with
xkb-data.

So adding a Conflicts is not necessary. Worse, it made keyboards-rg
uninstallable, since it depends on xkb-data, and now that xkb-data
conflicts with keyboards-rg, keyboards-rg has become uninstallable in
unstable, making xkb-data not migrating for 15 days.

We want to remove the Conflicts from xkb-data.
