The question only defaults to macintosh_old under very specific
circumstances:
db_get xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/rules
if [ "$RET" = "sun" ]; then
tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model "type5"
elif [ "$RET" = "xfree86" ]; then
if [ "$ARCH" = "powerpc" ]; then
MODEL=macintosh
# good old-fashioned BRAIN DAMAGE
if [ -e /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes ]; then
if [ "$(cat /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes)" = "0"
]; then
MODEL=macintosh_old
fi
fi
tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model $MODEL
else
tsl xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model "pc104"
fi
fi
validate_string_db_input xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model ||
debug_report_status "validate_string_db_input
xserver-xfree86/config/inputdevice/keyboard/model" "$?"
Note the "BRAIN DAMAGE" part.
