That is the behavior, at least in console, when you choose
the mac extended keymap (US).
As I understand it I have to do dpkg-reconfigure console-data, then choose mac / Unknown / US american / Standard / Extended?
The mac tree is entirely obsolete, powerpc uses linux (i386) keycodes.
Unless you have a pre-2.2 kernel, look in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/ for
keymaps. The one I use is qwerty/mac-usb-us, that is 'Select from arch
map / US American / Apple USB' in the console-data list.

	I understand I can't use that in my FireWire iBook, which has
an Apple ADB keyboard still?

The use of linux keycodes is independent of ADB or USB. You can use them with both types of keyboards. The keycodes for most keys are the same. Most usb keyboards simply have some additional keys.


	BTW, is there any site where there is good documentation on
these issues, so that I don't need to bother you unless I'm too stupid
to understand it?

http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/keycodes tells you how to activate linux keycodes and how to recover when you have done something bad.
