Xorg.0.log flooded with "XKB: reuse xkmfile" lines: is it a bug?

Asked by Jani Uusitalo

My Xorg log is flooded with lines about reusing xkmfile:

jani@saegusa:~$ grep "XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-" /var/log/Xorg.0.log | tail

jani@saegusa:~$ grep "XKB: reuse xkmfile /var/lib/xkb/server-" /var/log/Xorg.0.log | wc -l
1507

Is this normal, caused by something in local configuration, or should I file a bug?

As one can see on top of the log file:
(II) informational

Hence, this
(II) XKB: reuse xkmfile ...
is informational, nothing more nothing less.
