I can't believe I actually bothered to check this, but it turned out
that getting support for an AT keyboard into the initrd is a matter of
putting the modules into /etc/mkinitrd/modules and rebuilding the
whole shebang.  This is such a small effort that it does not justify
building the drivers into the kernel, especially since they are
useless anyway on most systems.

And I am closing it to show there is no need to clutter the BTS with
such things.  If you want to discuss further, do it on debian-kernel.

Regards, Jens.
