Bug#2217: loadkeys problem

[Raul Miller <rdm@tad.micro.umn.edu>]

Package: kbd
Version: 0.90-4

loadkeys doesn't always do the right thing with the keymaps
specification.

For example, using the table (on top of the default keymap):

keymaps 2-3,32-35
# 1 !
keycode   2 = 0xa1 0xa2	one 0xa1 0xa2

I get:

 	control	keycode   3 = nul
 	shift	control	keycode   3 = nul
...

This conflicts with the keytables(5) manual page, which specifies:

       First of all, you can give a map  specification  line,  of
       the form

              keymaps 0-2,4-5,8,12

       to  indicate that the lines of the keymap will not specify
       all 256 columns, but only  the  indicated  ones.  (In  the
       example:  only  the  plain,  Shift,  AltGr,  Control, Con-
       trol+Shift, Alt and Control+Alt maps, that is,  7  columns
       instead  of 256.)
