Bug#984427: console-setup: ckbcomp generates invalid linux keymaps

[Anisse Astier <anisse@astier.eu>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.201
Tags: patch

The ckbcomp command emits unicode symbols greater than 0xf000 in
keymaps, even if the linux kernel does not support those. This prevents
the fr-bepo_afnor keymap from working (see bug #968195).

The attached patch fixes ckbcomp so that it can generate proper keymaps.

Regards,

Anisse

Subject: [PATCH] ckbcomp: fix fr-bepo_afnor conversion by skipping unsupported
 symbols

Some X keymaps, including fr bepo_afnor use unicode symbols greater than
0xf000; for example the copy left symbol U+1f12f.

These values aren't supported by the linux kernel, so loadkeys won't be
able to load them, or even parse the value.

Skip those symbols to generate valid keymaps.
