Hi,

there is a problem with the package 1.0-6. Here the test results on my 
MacBookPro regarding mac-macbook-de:

dpkg -i console-data_1.0-6_all.deb

mac-macbook-de is not selectable in the list presented 
by 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data'.

cd /etc/console

cp /usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-ibook-de.kmap.gz boottime.kmap.gz
loadkeys boottime.kmap.gz
# => ^° and <> OK, Apple-Keys left/right wrong

cp /usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-ibook-de-deadkeys.kmap.gz boottime.kmap.gz
loadkeys boottime.kmap.gz
# ^° and <> wrong, Apple-Keys left/right wrong

cp /usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-macbook-de.kmap.gz boottime.kmap.gz
loadkeys boottime.kmap.gz
# => ^° and <> wrong, Apple-Keys left/right wrong

So the keys ^° and <> have been wrongly interchanged in mac-ibook-de, not in 
mac-macbook-de; the Apple-keys have not been touched.
mac-macbook-de.kmap.gz(1.0-6) is simply a copy of mac-ibook-de.kmap.gz(1.0-5) 
(zdiff shows no differences).

----------------------------------------------------
I would suggest to modify version 1.0-6 in the following way:

- Replace /usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-macbook-de.kmap.gz with the attached one 
(this is a modified mac-ibook-de.kmap.gz(1.0-5) as written in my mail from 
Fri, 13 Oct 2006 and working fine on my MacBookPro)

- Go back to version 1.0-5 for /usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-ibook-de.kmap.gz .
- Keep .../mac-ibook-de-deadkeys.kmap.gz as it is.
  (I can not verify if these work good since i dont have an iBook, but at
  least so they behave similarly and as in 1.0-5).

- Make mac-macbook-de selectable in the configure-dialog.

thanks for your support,   Helmar.
