Awesome find! I think the orca preset in the xkb settings could probably be renamed to something more 
generic, then it should be a matter of justifying it upstream, which I don't think will be a problem.

I'm not willing to put either patch into Ubuntu until both patches are applieddddddddddddd upstream. 
Backporting the patches won't be a problem, but upstream is where they should be first, so its less work for 
downstream distros to carry them in the future.
