Package: udev
Version: 220-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The udev upgrade from 215-18 to 220-6 breaks the keyboard configuration.
In my case, I have:

keyboard:usb:v05ACp0221*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70035=102nd       # Left to z: backslash bar
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70064=grave       # Left to 1: grave notsign
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70068=insert      # F13: Insert

According to /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb, it seems that the
format has changed (though nothing has been announced!).

As I saw lines starting with evdev:input:b0003 in this file for
USB devices, I tried:

evdev:input:b0003v05ACp0221*
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70035=102nd       # Left to z: backslash bar
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70064=grave       # Left to 1: grave notsign
 KEYBOARD_KEY_70068=insert      # F13: Insert

and rebooted, but this configuration is still ignored.

I guess this ship has sailed, given that stable now ships this change.

At this point we are not going to add a NEWS entry for this anymore,
thus closing the bug report. Sorry for not dealing with this in a more
timely manner.

Regards,
Michael
