 I'll have to leave this to Ethan to answer.
 
 Dan, I do know that PowerPC can't build now due to lack of
 pcmcia-modules-2.2.19-pmac bug.  Do you think we should NMU pcmcia-cs
 or somehow workaround that?  Do you need my help on that front?

Fix was installed today, actually.  I'm not fixing some things about
the build process of the modules for woody; I'll do to 2.2.x in
unstable what I've done to 2.4.x, a little further down the line, which
will make PCMCIA easier to build.

  - PowerMac uses linux (read i386) keycodes now, use i386 keymaps.
This still needs a fixed -pmac kernel, but console-data in woody
requires that anyway.
 
 Woah.  OK, I've been letting this slide a little bit, but are you

we either need a kernel with CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=n or the user has
to pass the following kernel argument:

keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1

the 2.2.19 in woody is already broken because console-data has made
this trasistion and is switching users keymaps and setting the sysctl
(which won't last a reboot), it then tells them to use the above
append= line or recompile thier kernel.  this work has been going on
for weeks now has been discussed on the list several times now.

it needs to happen one way or the other, b-f is not the first thing to
require it.

As I said, please do bring this sort of thing to the attention of
someone who can do something about it.  I'm sorry for not following
-boot religiously while work has been sucking my life and I've been
busy reconstructing the entire rest of the powerpc port.  Should I take
this to mean I need to build new kernel packages, then?

Feh.  I'm sorry, Ethan, it was held up in a mail spool.  I'll take care
of it soon.
