* Handle the various buffer sizes expected in kernels 2.6.27 to 2.6.30.8
  (2.6.28 changed the value of KEY_MAX, which changed the definition of
  a joystick-related ioctl; 2.6.31 fixed the problem by handling any
  buffer size - see ec8b4b7085605e801a7740a2c3c33256aebe249c in the
  kernel git repository, which was also shipped in 2.6.30.8). Correctly
  closes: #536013. Thanks to Krzysztof A. Sobiecki for help determining
  the actual cause of the behaviour seen in jstest!
* Avoid treating positive return values from ioctl() as errors; kernels
  starting with 2.6.32 return buffer sizes in some cases (see
  999b874f4aa39b7abf45662ff0900f943ddb2d02 in the kernel git
  repository).
* Standards-Version 3.8.3, no change required.
* initscript stops in level 1 as well as 0 and 6. Note that the
  initscript will be going away soon, see #540680.
