Rather than create a new package I decided it would be better to add the
files to the existing Debian gkb package.  I have filed a request for the
maintainer to include them and hopefully he will move quickly on this.

Personally I'm not too familiar with GNOME being a KDE man myself but
given the slow speed at which 2.6 is entering the distribution I think gkb
still has a future ahead of it.

Btw, gnowledge.org seems to be down so I didn't add the phonetic keymaps
but it's a good idea.  What crazy person invented Inscript anyway? :-)
