[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#504643: hal-info: broken keymap override for Thinkpad keys

Package: hal-info
Version: 20081022-1
Severity: normal

The file
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-module-thinkpad-acpi.fdi
contains overrides of the keymap for the thinkpad-acpi driver. This is
actually harmful since
(a) there should be no need to mess with the keymap of thinkpad-acpi [1], and
(b) the provided keymap is broken anyway.

For instance the line

  <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x04:radio</append> <!-- Fn+F5 switch radio -->

maps the Fn+F5 button to KEY_RADIO, when it should be KEY_WLAN. The
latter is what the rfkill input layer reacts to.
