> Why you don't remove the m17n layouts instead?
xkb layouts are not updated as compared to m17n, from last many years we are
working on scim or ibus, which use m17n, so most of changes are made in m17n
instead of m17n.

> Actually I don't understand what is inscript.

it is common keyboard layout of all Indic locales created by Govt. of India.

I checked that bug before file this one, still filed because

1) This bug is to remove duplication of all keymaps from m17n and xkb (keep
either one) - Either those are same name (bug #740447) or different name.

2) if we fix this bug by disabling xkb (or m17n), then bug #740447 need not to
be fixed.

3) If not going to fix this, then bug #740447 Must need to fix

4) bug #740447 is specific on Bengali only (although xkb keyboard layout names
are too generic (only language) to identify, but still different enough while
using with ibus from m17n names)
