Hi guys, this problem is still present in Ubuntu 18.04, Portugese Apple wired USB keyboard.

Now the keys "<" and "½" are swapped and no longer matches the actual print on the keycaps. The error is isolated to the following commit: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu- hardy.git;a=commitdiff;h=efb3031b446d441dca5b10619503ac0bba7f9748 This commit introduced a key swapping for all "ISO" type Apple keyboards. In my case this swapping is incorrect, and generally it seems like a very bad idea to perform hard coded locale specific key mapping in kernel space as this is also done several places in user space. The included patch reverts the behavior to the default that matches the keycap printing.
