I switched from evdev to libinput as recommeded by recent news, and
now my keyboard is hosed: a bunch of keys are unrecognized or send the
wrong thing. (Arrow keys don't work, right-CTRL causes screen to
flash, pgup/pgdown don't work, etc.). Unfortunately, all of the
keyboard layout documentation I find talks about evdev, but doesn't
mention libinput:

Did you try '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf' ?
It still works here.

My keyboard config is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf
The control/capslock key mapping still works, but the keyboard layout
is borked. If I remove that file, the control/capslock mapping stops
working (as expected), and the kayboard layout is OK.
Next, I tried just removing 'Option "XkbLayout'", and that made no
difference. Here is what I started with:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Driver "libinput"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
Here's what I have no (no difference in behavior):
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Driver "libinput"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection

I also had to remove the "XkbRules" option. Now the keyboard mapping
is back to "normal". 'Twould be nice if things like that were
documented somewhere, but I'm not sure where it would be...

Take a look at the libinput(4) man page, which is installed by
x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput.

Nothing there except mouse/trackpad stuff. I don't see anything about
keyboard layout in general or XkbRules in particular.
