Comment 57 for bug 408903

Okay, I've created some test packages. Please keep in mind these are only test packages, I haven't even sent upstream yet. To get around the complications with keycodes over 248 I've remapped to the F20 key, which most keyboards don't have. We've been using the Function keys for this purpose for a while now, for example, touchpadtoggle events are F21.

Please let me know if there are any dependencies missing. These packages were compiled on Precise, and it is very likely they will be overwritten by a future sru:

You can see what it looks like here:

All the source is in my source directory under the name micmute:
