---------------
xkeyboard-config (2.10.1-1ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  [ Dmitry Shachnev ]
  * Merge with Debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - control, rules, xkb-data-i18n.install, xkb-data.install: Split out
      xkb-data-i18n to be used by console-setup.
    - xkb-data.postinst.in: Remove the xkb cache to make sure it gets
      regenerated.
    - 105_intelligent_keyboard.patch: Add support for the Intelligent
      Keyboard K04.
    - 108_fix_intltool_make_check.diff: Fix make check in the presence
      of the quilt patch system.
    - Add multi-arch support.
  * Dropped change (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has a version newer than 1.9):
    - Migrate settings from dvorak-intl to dvorak-alt-intl to match rename
      in xkeyboard-config 1.9.

Bug description:
  The official name for the state language for Bangladesh is Bangla, as
  detailed on section 3, part 1 of the Bangladesh constitution
  (http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/research/bangladesh-constitution.pdf).
  However, language selector continues to refer to this language as
  Bengali (Bangladeh). While Bengali has been historically used as the
  english name for the language during colonial periods, the name
  'Bangla' is more widely used nowadays. It is also the name with which
  native speakers identify the language.

  This package uses Bengali(Bangladesh) as the identifier for language
  code bn-BD. Please change the name to Bangla(Bangladesh).
