Please just send the patch to the existing bug report that I mentioned. No need to create a new one. I'd suggest a mail with the following content. This will make sure that the fact a patch is available is registered in the BTS. To: 368214@bugs.debian.org, control@bugs.debian.org Subject: Bug#368214: Wrong keyboard configured for Sparc with 2.6 kernels Body: tags 368214 + patch thanks <explanation of the patch> <attachment: patch> > That should be okay for Sparc. I tried to leave a hook and hint where > future updaters could cover other arches than Sparc that still use > kernels 2.4. Yes, I understood that. I'm just unsure how many other arches have the same problem. And even then, it may be "cleaner" to do it on a per arch basis as then the exceptions are probably easier to remove later. Just make sure that you add the code to determine kernel version in a place where it is available for all arches. Cheers, FJP
