That's the new standard way of selecting the french variant of the
Canadian keyboard layout AIU.

If you believe there is a bug in the support, please file a bug report
in X.Org bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg"
component.

The xkbdata is undergoing many changes currently as it migrates
away from the older ad-hoc definitions to a more standardized and
uniform set of definitions.  In the process, there will be some
bugs, and there will also be some changes that require systems to
be configured differently from how they may have been in the past.
Due to this change, other tools will also need changes to handle
the new xkb data properly.

All xkb bugs should be filed in the X.Org bugzilla.  Once they're
resolved by the upstream maintainers, we will review the changes
for potential inclusion in future builds.
