Yes, the severity I picked might be a bit out of proportion.
Please feel free to downgrade it to a sensible choice.

Maybe I should clarify as to what I meant with "default" configuration:
The global configuration as shipped with the Debian package, not the
unaltered upstream one.

I did not consider building wmaker from pristine upstream upstream
source or in fact any source. This bug simply means to compare the
previous Debian package version with the current one.
After your suggestion, I tried with a fresh user account and found the
same behaviour, namely missing keyboard bindings. For clarification,
I attached the global and a pristine user configuration.
It is of course very easy for a user to assign keyboard bindings with
WPref or wmakerconf or by any other means, but isn't this exactly the
purpose of a default configuration, i.e. to provide sane defaults
for all configuration options needed for proper usage of a package?
The current Debian config should really include all the previous
config options (that is, the missing options as found in the file
'debian/WindowMaker.default' in source package version 0.92.0-5.3),
while keeping the new NeXTstep theme.
(Regarding the theme: You are absolutely right, my comment on the
previous and the current theme was absolutely subjective, and not
meant to offend anybody.)
Regards,
Peter
