[Sorry for this flood of Turkish related topics.  It's only
because I'm working from Turkey -- Captain Obvious]

There seem to be two different keyboard layouts for Tukey,
the F layout and the Q layout, named after the leftmost key
of the top row.

>From our wiki and our X11 keyboard file, we seem to have
picked the F layout:

But here everybody is telling me that the Q layout is the most
widely used and the favorite.  All the computers I see around
me use this layout.

Are we still in time to change the this in production?

This seems to be yet another case where a country-specific
build would be absolutely required, regardless of our planned
release cycle.  Obviously we'll get more and more of these
cases as we deploy to a wider range of countries.  So this
seems like a good time to discuss how to have per-country
builds released in parallel with ease.
