How to tweak an XKB keymap without having to create my own under Wayland?

To access keys F13-F24 I recently needed to modify the file:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/inet
.
This is the snippet, it's not all that interesting...
key { [ F13 ] };
key { [ F14 ] };
key { [ F15 ] };
key { [ F16 ] };
key { [ F17 ] };
key { [ F18 ] };
key { [ F19 ] };
key { [ F20 ] };
key { [ F21 ] };
key { [ F22 ] };
key { [ F23 ] };
key { [ F24 ] };
After restarting the compositor this worked as expected.
The problem I now have is whenever this package gets updated it will overwrite my local configuration.
Everything I can find online explains how I can create my own keymap, which I'd rather avoid - I just want to make a small tweak to the existing keymap.

Is there a way to overlay some changes on the existing keymap in my user configuration without having to create a new keymap?
