Package: console-data
Version: 1.07-11
/usr/share/consoletrans/koi8-r.acm.gz reads:
...
0x7c '|'
0x7d '}'
0x7e '~'
0x7f '?'
...
Here, the 0x7f entry looks bogus, and should have been probably
U+2302 instead.
Surprisingly enough, however, this entry affects how the
backspace key gets translated by the kernel! To be specific,
it's seemingly required for the line to read:
0x7f U+007F
in order for the backspace key to be correctly translated to
0x7F by the Linux kernel (as of 2.6.26-11 and 2.6.26-12.)
(It's probably worth a separate bug report against kernel-2.6,
but I'm not yet sure if it's the kernel's or kbd's fault.)
