Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.238
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: noisycoil@tutanota.com, noisycoil@disroot.org

Dear Maintainer,

Earlier today in Bananas Team we received multiple reports that keyboard-
configuration is broken on Apple laptops with arm64 CPUs: reconfiguring
the package throws the errors

```
cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceClass': No such file or directory
cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceSubClass': No such file or directory
cat: '/sys/bus/usb/devices/*:*/bInterfaceProtocol': No such file or directory
```

and refuses to go ahead with the configuration. I could reproduce this bug on
my machine. It happens because the keyboard_present function is unable to
detect the laptops' keyboards. In attachment you will find a patch to enable
detection by adding the relevant strings to the matching pattern for
/proc/bus/input/devices. I tested it works on the M1 MacBook Pro and M2 MacBook
Air, and expect it will on the other laptops too.

We would be very grateful if a fixed release could land in trixie, as this is
a major blocker for our first-boot configuration of installations with no
desktop environment. If you agree and wish me to, I could take care of the
unblock request. I see v1.238 needs unblocking too, but the delta only contains
translations as far as I can see, so I think the two unblocks could be filed
as one.

Cheers!
