Bug#410721: migration from xfree 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2 to xorg 1:7.1.0-11 failed to correctly configure swiss german keyboard

["peter green" <plugwash@P10Link.net>]

i think i may have a similar issue on a box that has been tracking etch for a while with a british keyboard and developed the "can't switch out of x with the "CTRL-ALT-Fx" keys sometime while tracking etch (i don't recall exactly when).

i mention this because it means the issue of keyboard layout configuration changing with the result of broken vt switching out of X does not just affect swiss german keyboards but some others as well.

the section for the keyboard

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "uk"
EndSection

a recent etch install with a british keyboard which does not suffer this problem has gb instead of uk (i can't test if changing it on the first install fixes it right now due to lack of physical access)
