+Description: patch to allow numeric values for keycodes
+ This patch fixes a regression in udev which was introduced with the migration
+ from udev rules to hwdb. Prior to the migration it was possible to enter
+ numeric values for keycodes when defining keyboard mappings. The values can be
+ entered in decimal, octal or hex. (LP: #1247584)
