[Bug 1707929] Re: [FFe] Revert blacklisting of Indic layouts

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

@Nathan: We don't backport changes to this package unless some really
important bug is spotted. The reason is that many users make custom
keyboard configuration by editing xkb-data files, and a package update
in a stable release would wipe out such changes. So no, sorry. (17.04
will only live 3 more months anyway.)

  The measure has been criticized and has been reverted afterwards at
  both freedesktop.org and Debian. We should make sure it's reverted in
  Ubuntu 17.10 as well.
