Own keyboard layouts

Question

Here i have asked question, how to edit keyboard layouts and find working solution for Ubuntus 12.04 - 16.04
But now i got problems with Ubuntu 18.04.
After latest updates there was reconfiguration or full replacement of package xkb-data.
So i needed to re-edit all configs for proper work of my modified keyboard layout.

My question is simple:
Does xkb-data has some conf.d directory where i can place my layouts?

No, unfortunately not. And yes, xkb-data is updated once in a while.

One thing you can do to make it less inconvenient is to put your custom variant in a separate file instead of editing the us file. Then, when xkb-data gets updated, you only need to redo evdev.xml/base.xml.
