Bug#535908: console-setup: Add support for newer Xorg option
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.39
Severity: normal
Hi:
Recently Xorg defaulted to "Control-Alt-Backspace does nothing", so if
you want terminate server function to be avaliable via keycombo as in
the past, you have to add an option (debian bug report #531629 ). And
since then, upgrading console-setup complains about unknown options
for "the configuration program" (which?) while the config file clearly
marks them as X related (and they are perfectly supported where it
matters, X session ends if you press C-A-Backspace).

Configuring console-setup
-------------------------
The configuration file /etc/default/console-setup specifies options for the
keyboard layout (lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp)
that are not supported by the configuration program.
Keep unsupported options (lv3:ralt_switch_multikey,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp)?
--->8---
Typing yes keeps the config, but every update it complains (this is
the second time, before it was with 1.37). So adding support for such
new function would be nice. Thanks.
