In the older releases (hardy and intrepid) the underlying issue here is
that we can nolonger inject these higher numbered keycodes into the
keyboard stream. We would need to convert over to the new event model
as supported by later kernels, and to do that we would need back ported
drivers which would not be acceptable for SRU to either of these
releases.
As by default this key is not actually bound to any action even in
Jaunty where this key is correctly mapped the users is already having to
configure the system to get this key to do something. As we do have a
pretty simple workaround for those affected users on these older
releases (the setkeycode workaround above) to make this produce a
deliverable key combination it does not seem appropriate to attempt to
supply a fix there.
