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

Thanks,
Jonathan

-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.

-The <systemitem role="package">console-setup</systemitem> package now

-<command>dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration</command> 
-or by manually editing the <filename>/etc/default/keyboard</filename>
