Yes, it is correct.  The link on the github web page does download to 
libxkbcommon-xkbcommon-1.8.0.tar.gz, but the link in blfs downloads to the simpler 
libxkbcommon-1.8.0.tar.gz.

Unfortunately, the note is also correct as the internal structure of the tarball is 
different form our URL.

We thought about repackaging so the name and extracted directory were the same, but 
decided against it.
