Hi
The loadkeys program on debian sid loads the Czech keyboard incorrectly.
The bug is in the upstream package "kbd", I bisected it and it is caused
by the commit 3fdbff332a6ef88a2447584c47a8616dceb19548 ("ksyms: Global
syms[] and charsets[] shouldn't be modified"). Prior to this commit, the
keyboard is loaded correctly.
How to reproduce:
* use Debian sid x86-64
* set the default locale to cz_CZ.utf8
* set Czech charset on the console, the file /etc/default/console-setup is
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
CHARMAP="UTF-8"
CODESET="Lat2"
FONTFACE="TerminusBold"
FONTSIZE="10x20"
* run setupcon
* run loadkeys cz-us-qwertz
* the keyboard is loaded incorrectly, the upper key row should print the
characters "+ěščřžýáíé", but most of these keys send incorrect characters.
