Aha - "Debian most advanced" is 1.06 from May 2001.
Not 1.08 from Oct 2002. And certainly not 1.10 from Jan 2004.

Concerning these "error messages": they are warnings only.
And since they are unavoidable in a Unicode environment
these warnings are not printed anymore by recent versions
of loadkeys/dumpkeys.

Try 1.10. I like to fix current bugs, but am not interested
in hearing about bugs in old versions that were fixed years ago.
