Bug#131553: missing keyboard selection?

ADB keycodes are no longer supported. When your kernel sends ADB
keycodes, console-data will say:
Your kernel is configured to have the keyboard send ADB keycodes. This
behaviour is now deprecated and no longer supported by Debian.
.
For best results you should reconfigure your kernel with
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=n. If you can't or don't want to do this for some
reason, pass keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1 as an argument to the kernel.
[...]
The question is which kernel boot-floppies comes with on powerpc.
kernel-patch-2.4.16-powerpc (2.4.16-1) turned off ADB keycodes (see
#120626). Perhaps boot-floppies use an older kernel?
(I'm not an powerpc expert.)
