If you add your variant as a new symbols file, e.g. /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/mycz, \
you can enable it with setxkbmap -layout mycz and upgrading your distribution or xorg \
packages won't probably remove that file.

You don't even need to duplicate the cz symbols. You can just use the include \
directive to include the sections you need from the cz symbols file (or any other \
symbols file) and add your own customizations.
