Public bug reported:
A new release of kbd is available for merging from Debian.
Ubuntu: 2.9.0-1ubuntu1
Debian Unstable: 2.10.0-1
### New Debian Changes ###
kbd (2.10.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New upstream release 2.10.0.
- Fixes a local privilege escalation bug with "openvt -u", see
CVE-2026-72693. Closes: #1144392.
- Enable XKB keymap conversion support via "loadkeys --xkb-layout",
closes: #1148647. This requires the addition of a build-dependency on
libxkbcommon-dev and results in new dependencies on libxkbcommon0 by kbd
and on libxkbcommon0-udev by kbd-udev.
* Update years in debian/copyright.
* Recount Change-misleading-kbd_mode-message-for-XLATE-mode.patch,
Miscellaneous-manpage-corrections-and-additions.patch,
Various-fixes-to-the-openvt-utility.patch.
* Update debian/watch to version 5.
* Upgrade Standards-Version to 4.7.4.
- No longer declare "Priority: optional" explicitly in debian/control.
* Ship the upstream-provided kbdinfo(1) man page instead of one written for
Debian.
* Add Repository: and Repository-Browse: URLs to debian/upstream/metadata.
* Bump debhelper-compat dependency to version 14.
- Don't specify ${misc:Depends} and ${shlibs:Depends} in debian/control.

### Old Ubuntu Delta ###
kbd (2.9.0-1ubuntu1) stonking; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2153310). Remaining changes:
- Add setfont, kbd_mode, and loadkeys to initramfs for console-setup.
- Change loadkeys to find any console not in raw mode when invoked
without an explicit console parameter, in case the foreground console
is in raw mode.
- Use ckbcomp to get the keyboard layout if other data files are not
available.
- debian/control: Depend on console-setup | console-setup-mini, since
console-setup-mini also Depends on kbd now through console-setup-linux.
* Dropped changes:
- Add setvtrgb to kbd-udeb. Ubuntu does not build udebs any more.
