Package: xlibs
Version: 4.2.1-2
Severity: normal

xlibs version 4.1.0-16 (Debian 3.0) contains:
// definition for the extra keys on 104-key "Windows95" keyboards
xkb_symbols "pc104" {
    include "us(generic101)"
    key <LALT> {        [       Alt_L           ]       };
    key <RALT> {        [       Alt_R           ]       };
    key <LWIN> {        [       Meta_L          ]       };
    key <RWIN> {        [       Multi_key       ]	};
    key <MENU> {        [       Menu            ]	};

    // modifier mappings
    modifier_map Mod1   { Alt_L, Alt_R };
    modifier_map Mod4   { Meta_L, Meta_R };
};

whereas thone supplied in this version is:
xkb_symbols "pc104" {
    include "us(generic101)"
    key <LALT> {        [       Alt_L,  Meta_L          ]       };
    key <RALT> {        [       Alt_R,  Meta_R          ]	};
    key <LWIN> {        [       Super_L                 ]	};
    key <RWIN> {        [       Super_R			]       };
    key <MENU> {        [       Menu			]       };

    // modifier mappings
    modifier_map Mod1   { Alt_L, Alt_R, Meta_L, Meta_R };
    modifier_map Mod4   { Super_L, Super_R };
};

The Windows keys on upgrade don't send Meta anymore. Personally I prefer
the definition supplied with Debian 3.0 (Left Windows is Meta, Right
Windows is Compose).

This breaks upgrades (and if it isn't going to be changed should be
noted on future release notes) and seem somewhat gratuitous. What is the
Super key and why do I need one?
