Bug#872468: console-setup: Keyboard layout de(neo) is only partially supported by ckbkomp

[Tobias Schlemmer <keinstein@users.sf.net>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.166
Severity: normal

Hi,

for some time now, when I install a new initrd, I get lots of warning messages.
Recently I found out that
they come from ckbcomp:

$ ckbcomp -layout de -variant neo >/dev/null 2>/tmp/errors.txt
$ sort /tmp/errors.txt |uniq -c
    480 WARNING: Unknown key type EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC_LEVEL_FIVE_LOCK
    496 WARNING: Unknown key type EIGHT_LEVEL_LEVEL_FIVE_LOCK

While the keyboard used to work fine in X11 the console does not support
uppecase greek letters and the symbols which are located at the same layer in
the keyboard layout.
