xkeyboard-config is a package, that provides keyboard layout/keymapping
data files. Xorg and Xwayland needs it, and libxkbcommon needs it. In
Wayland everything using libxkbcommon needs it on desktop systems, that
means all apps.

xkeyboard-config is the package that provides the
file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev. You can easily see that by listing
all the files this package installed on your distribution.
