Public bug reported:
in all previous releases of ubuntu or debian on which i've tried it, it
was possible to somehow make changes to boottime.kmap and have the
changes "stick". (in particular, this is an easy and popular way of
changing capslock to control for the console.) either the map file
could be replaced, or references to it could be redirected, etc.
but now, assuming ckbcomp is present (which it is), then the contents of
boottime.kmap[.gz] is overwritten at every boot, based on the X11 keyboard
files.
there should be a way to prevent this action.
i see that the console-screen.sh script (now superceded) provides for "remap"
functionality. while not optimal, this kind of feature would be better than
nothing.
but really what's necessary is a variable that can be set in
/etc/default/console-setup that allows setting an alternate boot-time keymap
file.
