Yes, well.. I'm sorry about breaking this in stable, as it were; I
wasn't really intending to, and my tests implied that there would not
be too much breakage, but I guess I understimated.
Mostly, I wanted to have a released version of Debian with the input
layer support. This way we can plan ahead to scrap the macintosh
keymap files in the next release without causing too much damage.
That'll make using console-tools much simpler.
