Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-2
Severity: normal
xlibs version 4.1.0-16 (Debian 3.0) contains:
// definition for the extra keys on 104-key "Windows95" keyboards
xkb_symbols "pc104" {
include "us(generic101)"
key <LALT> { [ Alt_L ] };
key <RALT> { [ Alt_R ] };
key <LWIN> { [ Meta_L ] };
key <RWIN> { [ Multi_key ] };
key <MENU> { [ Menu ] };
// modifier mappings
modifier_map Mod1 { Alt_L, Alt_R };
modifier_map Mod4 { Meta_L, Meta_R };
};
whereas thone supplied in this version is:
xkb_symbols "pc104" {
include "us(generic101)"
key <LALT> { [ Alt_L, Meta_L ] };
key <RALT> { [ Alt_R, Meta_R ] };
key <LWIN> { [ Super_L ] };
key <RWIN> { [ Super_R ] };
key <MENU> { [ Menu ] };
// modifier mappings
modifier_map Mod1 { Alt_L, Alt_R, Meta_L, Meta_R };
modifier_map Mod4 { Super_L, Super_R };
};
The Windows keys on upgrade don't send Meta anymore. Personally I prefer
the definition supplied with Debian 3.0 (Left Windows is Meta, Right
Windows is Compose).
This breaks upgrades (and if it isn't going to be changed should be
noted on future release notes) and seem somewhat gratuitous. What is the
Super key and why do I need one?

Oh, please. It doesn't "break upgrades". No package fails to unpack or
configure due to this.
It is documented both in the Debian changelog and in the upstream
changelog.
* patch #052: deleted; dropped this Debian-specific meta/alt/windows key
thing because XFree86 4.2 has the "altwin" symbols file; Emacs users ne=
ed
to check it out (/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin)
225. Set the Alt/Windows key mappings for 104-key keyboards to be
compatible with 101-key keyboards by default, and add some new
XKB options to set them differently.

It's a modifier key. *YOU* may decide you don't need one.
Closing this spurious report.
