See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2175244#c15 .
We really need libxkbcommon for initial-setup to work properly,
since an ordering change in systemd 253. This exclusion causes
it to get dropped. libxkbcommon requires xkeyboard-config; since
systemd only recommends libxkbcommon (rather than hard requiring
it), the solver decides to honor the request to exclude
xkeyboard-config by dropping both it and libxkbcommon.

I'm about, like, 80% confident my theory is right here. We're planning to do a test image build with this change (one way or another) and see how it comes out.

We did a scratch image build with this change and it does fix the problem in my local test - I was able to set a root password and create a user account, and both work. It seems to make the image much bigger, which is odd, but I don't think we can do anything about that.
