Package: kbd Version: 1.15-2 Severity: normal Since 2004 (see <http://bugs.debian.org/251550>), Debian’s kbd has used a patch called read_keymaps_fmt to make Unicode and KTYP/KVAL keysyms more compatible to each other. This divergence has since led to difficulties in fixing bugs (read_keymaps_fmt xors some things 0xf000 which the original kbd does not, which flips a few inequality comparisons, etc.).
I personally don’t fully understand read_keymaps_fmt (well, I do grasp it, but not in a way that makes me feel completely comfortable with it), so in order to know about its implications, a clean-up or rewrite is probably appropriate. I’ll try to come up with something as fast as I can. This bug will be closed when this difference between upstream’s and our kbd trees is gone. In other words, I hope that upstream accepts a patch. -- Michael Schutte <[email protected]>
