Now that I can get into my machines again (long story) I've looked and I'm
not sure that the kbd_mode from Xsun and the kbd_mode from kbd do the same
thing.  While both programs can set how key presses are interpreted, they
have different settings.  It may be that Xsun's kbd_mode is specific to
Solaris/SunOS, in which case it (obviously) should be left out.  I'm not sure
that this is the case, though.  Either way, it should definitely go in
xserver-common along with constype (and any other little utilities that pop
up).  Feel free to relocate these programs as you see fit.
