No worries and no hurry. I mainly packaged the new release to have a
practical task to do while looking closer at kbd, etc.
I've recently been looking into this area which is new to me in the
debian base system, reading up on how the X keymaps and console keymaps
integrate in Debian and how they handled the same thing (which was
first/recently introduced after systemd migration) in Fedora (where the
main difference seems to be that they rejected the idea of regenerating
the keymaps at runtime, instead they converted everything at package
build time).
If you're looking for extra help with the package I'm interested in
getting further involved.... having native systemd units which masks the
rcS init scripts and other updates related to systemd is something I'd
happily look at and help out with.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
