[Bug 1740894] Re: KEY_RFKILL is not passed to userspace

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

@SRU team, actually we will cherrypick more things into systemd, to make
systemd & xkeyboard-config play nice with each other, as is destined to
be upstream and in disco.

Bug description:
  * Impact
  the airplane mode key doesn't work in GNOME

  * Test case
  Use a laptop with a key to activate airplane mode, it should toggle the corresponding mode on/off when used

  * Regression potential
  The change adds a new key definition but doesn't touch any existing one, nothing specific to test out of the new key working

  ---------------------

  There are a couple things going on, that could be fixed by a Debian or
  Ubuntu maintainer:

  - libxkbdcommon needs to be updated from 0.7.1 to 0.7.2. This
  introduces the RFKill key: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives
  /wayland-devel/2017-August/034721.html

  - x11-proto needs a new release. This commit added RFKill, but it is
  not in a release:
  https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xproto/commit/?id=98a32d328e7195e12c38baa877917335bceffbaf

  - Likely other X11 packages need to be rebuilt.
