 First thing to do is to look at line 1 of the file, e.g in 'view'
or with 'zcat ... | head '

 I'm on a box using kbd-1.14.1 and I get
ken at ac30 ~ $zcat /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.map.gz | head
# uk.map
# From bam at wcl-l.bham.ac.uk Fri May  2 20:20:59 1997
# reduced number of keymaps, adapted to alt_is_meta - aeb
#
# old: shift keycode 41 = asciitilde
# bam: shift keycode 41 = notsign
#
keymaps 0-2,4-6,8,9,12
alt_is_meta
include "qwerty-layout"
ken at ac30 ~ $

 I imagine the comments might be ignored in counting lines, but your
results might be very different.

 If your uk.map.gz matches mine, perhaps kbd cannot handle the
gzipped file for some reason.
