us misdetected as jp

[Colin Watson]

In console-setup-pc-ekmap 1.13ubuntu3, the generated /usr/share/console-setup-mini/pc105.tree incorrectly causes a us keyboard to be misdetected as jp. The relevant chunk is as follows:

STEP 62
FINDP ¿
YES 64
NO 63
STEP 63
MAP jp
STEP 64
FINDP ¨
YES 69
NO 65
STEP 65
FINDP ł
YES 29
NO 66
STEP 66
FINDP š
YES 68
NO 67
STEP 67
MAP us

However, us has no ¿ key, so it should be on the NO path from step 62, not the YES path.

This turns out not to be a keymapper bug at all (whoops); the input it's being given by console-setup is incorrect.

console-setup (1.13ubuntu9) feisty; urgency=low

  * Keyboard/kbdcompiler: Fix keymap reduction not to try to express keymap
    A in terms of keymap B when B includes keys not mapped by A, fixing a
    number of incorrectly-reduced keymaps (LP: #74375).
  * Keyboard/kbdcompiler: Update handling of jp to match
    debian/config.proto.
  * Keyboard/keymaptree.use: Remove jp; we cannot detect it correctly
    without further intelligence, as it's designed for jp106 keyboard
    models.
