Hi Joachim,

the database in hal-info was converted to the new format usable by udev (see
/lib/udev/keymaps, /lib/udev/keymap and /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt)
so if you had your mapping upstream it should work ootb.

configuring hal-info with --disable-keymaps), which means I have to add a
Breaks: hal (<< 0.5.13-4)
