Would this still work as intended?
kbd is a global package, part of the base. If I create a new
package which inherits from kbd, and people have to explicitly
add it to (packages) in (operating-system), it will colide with
(kbd). I think this really is the safest solution unless you
can convince me that it will work the way you proposed.

Or am I wrong and all you suggest is that (kbd) simply
finds the neo.map in the store?

I feel like kbd doesn#t work this way, but depending on
your explanation I can try.
