Hi Roger,
this issue has been discussed at length on debian-powerpc during
last months. In fact it is due to the kernel failing to detect
the right keyboard. Unconditionnally swapping the 2 keys as had
been done in 0.8-7 was thus not a good fix. because this will
cause trouble to other users. There seems to be no automatic
solution, so an option has been added since 0.8-13 to fix it
manually when needed, try
Option "XkbOptions" "apple:badmap"
More informations are available in /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/README.Debian.
In my opinion, there is no bug here.
