Bug#687005: release notes: unified keyboard settings and stable-updates are not new any more
Package: release-notes
Tags: wheezy patch
Here's a patch to clear out some old news from the whats-new section.
(Perhaps for jessie we can start the whats-new section with a blank
slate, but it seems too late for that for wheezy.) Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jonathan

-<title>Unified keyboard settings</title>

-In this new release, the settings for the keyboard have been unified so that
-both the console and the Xorg server use the same settings. The keyboard
-settings are now defined in the <filename>/etc/default/keyboard</filename>
-configuration file which overrides the keyboard defined in Xorg's
-configuration file.
-</para>

-<para>
-The <systemitem role="package">console-setup</systemitem> package now
-handles the keyboard for both environments as well as the font
-configuration for the console. You can reconfigure the keyboard layout and
-related settings by executing
-<command>dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration</command>
-or by manually editing the <filename>/etc/default/keyboard</filename>
-configuration file.
