999_ubuntu_vt-is-UTF8_manpage.patch: Fix manpage to properly document
the --quiet option. (LP: #49031)

27. By Colin Watson on 2008-06-23

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - debian/conffiles.d/config: Fix typo: "latcyrheb=sun16" =>
    "latarcyrheb-sun16".
  - Do not make /etc/console-tools/config a conffile, since it is modified
    by the installer and causes dpkg questions on upgrades.
  - 951_fix_unicode_loadkeys_capslock.patch: When loading unicode key
    maps, apply KT_LETTER to values in the range a-z or A-Z rather than
    KT_LATIN. This seems to be necessary to make Caps Lock work properly.
  - 999_ubuntu_unicode.patch: Make unicode_{start,stop} attempt to
    start/stop unicode on all the VCs listed in /etc/inittab if we detect
    that we're running from init.
  - Move console-screen.sh to rcS/S90.
  - 220_unimap_vts.patch: Linux 2.6.1 fixed the GIO_UNIMAP, PIO_UNIMAP,
    and PIO_UNIMAPCLR ioctls to be per-VT rather than always using the
    current foreground console. If we're running on Linux 2.6.1 or newer,
    suppress the VT switch.
  - debian/console-screen.sh: Don't run if setupcon (from console-setup)
    is present or if usplash is running.
  - Add console-tools-udeb and libconsole-udeb packages needed for
    console-setup. Remove unnecessary shlibs.local which broke
    console-tools-udeb's dependencies.
  - Accept console-setup as an alternative for console-common and
    console-data.
  - 999_ubuntu_getfd.patch: Make get_console_fd try to open
    /proc/self/fd/0, so that kbd_mode can be used to query or modify any
    tty by running kbd_mode < /dev/ttyN.
  - Move kbd_mode to /bin so that it can be used before /usr is mounted.
  - Add consolechars, kbd_mode, and loadkeys to initramfs for
    console-setup.
  - Set fonts and LEDs on tty6 too.
  - 999_ubuntu_loadkeys_console-setup.patch: Use ckbcomp to get the
    keyboard layout if other data files are not available.

Remove shlibs.local. It wasn't needed and made console-tools-udeb depend
on libconsole (not -udeb).

999_ubuntu_loadkeys_console-setup.patch: Use ckbcomp to get the keyboard

Trigger rebuild for hppa.

  - 999_ubuntu_fix_sparc_ftbfs: remove unrequired includes that are no
    longer exported by linux-libc-dev.
  - debian/console-screen.sh: Don't run if setupcon (from console-setup)
    is present or if usplash is running.

debian/patches/999_ubuntu_getfd.patch: Make get_console_fd try to open
/proc/self/fd/0, so that kbd_mode can be used to query or modify any tty
by running kbd_mode < /dev/ttyN. This is a copy of a change by Denis
Barbier in kbd 1.12-15.
