Bug#387320: xkb-data: [Finnish symbols] macron to dead_macron
Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.8-7
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
The symbols for Finnish currently include a macron as AltGr+Shift+minus.
This key is useless for the intended purpose, which is to enable writing
accented vowels used in Baltic languages. Fixing it requires making it a
deadkey, which is what the enclosed patch does.
NOTE: this issue also exists in 0.8-7ubuntu2 (Edgy) where a similar but
not identical file is at /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/fi (in Etch 0.8-7 it's at
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fi instead). The enclosed patch is against
the 0.8-7 version in Etch.
