I must say that this looks like a hack.  Shouldn’t it be sufficient to
install the gzipped map file to some directory?  Why is it necessary to
let kdb take care of installing the keymap?

If it is just a matter of finding the desired keymap at runtime, I think
it would be better to use a search path (if it exists).
