Bug#233618: Debconf: Can't set keyboard options back to empty
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-2
Severity: normal
For some time I have used the keyboard option "altwin:meta_win", but after
the upgrade to 4.3 I wanted to (try to) live without it again.
With dpkg-reconfigure I could clear the setting in the UI, but the section
wasn't cleared in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat; another non-empty value
was accepted.
