The only reference I see to keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes is in
linux/Documentation/Configure.help. That doc implies the sensible
association between CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES and
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes. However, it never explicitly says that
CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=n
would result in
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1
Note that I'm using a pure, unpatched, 2.4.10 source of the kernel --
though I highly doubt that that'd be relevant. Also note that running
'dpkg-reconfigure console-data' had no complaints when I ran it in an
ADB kernel (as shown by CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES=y) with
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1 and an ADB boottime.kmap.gz!

I may not be representative, but my search order was something like
this:
- linux/.config for anything related to keymaps;
- 'man -k' for anything related eg 'key|map|charset|...';
- linux/Documentation/Configure.help and whatever else may be under
the Documentation/ subtree;
- ppc-related pages (penguinppc.org, recent /. posts which I recalled
having to do with iBooks, debian ppc port page, and anything which
they pointed to);
- as usual, the most helpful thing was using google on the error
messages/concepts. It led me to mailing lists -- namely this
one. So any archived post is highly useful.
It seems like you've already done the right thing then.
If any modification of the install/configure procedure of console-data
is possible, I would suggest highlighting it in a very noticable
manner. console-data is not like any other package. IT'S A HUGE PAIN
to debug & undo its effect. (I won't go into the scenario of why one
might not have an ethernet connection to allow you to debug things
remotely! :-( Yup, I, too, came up with one of those 1-to-1 key
translation maps!)
