  1. Also using this on my Chromebook (took me a while to find this because you didn't link this page from your ITP), so comments:

1. debian/patches/0003-Remove-generated-files-from-the-repository.patch is a full megabyte, because it includes the entirety of data/keyd-application-mapper.1.gz, data/keyd.1.gz, data/keyd.compose, which are, well, binary gzips; IMO you should repack this all away by adding
  Files-Excluded: data/*.gz
   data/keyd.compose
to d/copyright instead of shipping it and the patch.

2. in the build log I see
  for f in docs/*.scdoc; do \
          target=${f%%.scdoc}.1.gz; \
          target=data/${target##*/}; \
          scdoc < "$f" | gzip > "$target"; \
  done
but https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#manual-pages says this should be gzip -9.

3. scripts/generate_xcompose also generates src/unicode.c. repack it away as well since you're already deleting data/keyd.compose

4. scripts/generate_xcompose spends well over a minute spinning with one core 100%ed on my fast system and strace shows nothing but brk() during this time, and the files it makes are distributed by upstream. IMO this looks like scripts/generate_xcompose used by upstream to update the unicode version it supports, and downstream shouldn't. the source is all there, so no DFSG issues – IMO don't regen it

5. you aren't patching away the groupadd from the Makefile!!!
  mkdir -p /home/nabijaczleweli/uwu/keyd.deb/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/keyd/examples/
  groupadd keyd
  groupadd: Permission denied.
  groupadd: cannot lock /etc/group; try again later.
  make[1]: [Makefile:64: install] Error 10 (ignored)
r-r-r: no doesn't mean the package /will not/ be built as root, only that it /may/ be (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-rules-requires-root) – 

6. you aren't actually installing the keyd group, so the resulting packages are broken

  2. Thank you for the very helpful review наб!

I uploaded a new version of the package that I believe addresses all of your comments.  Responses to your individual points:

1. I decided to keep the generated files as you suggested in point #4.
2. I removed the compression so that dh_compress can take care of it.  This also avoids overwriting the data/*.1.gz files.
3. I decided to keep the generated files.
4. Done.
5. Done.
6. Done. I'm not 100% sure I did it properly.  I'm using addgroup in postinst to create the group, and I'm NOT removing the group when the package is removed or purged.
