Someone has to write a patch, have it accepted upstream, published in a new kernel, then the interface may be considered accepted, and the kbd package be fixed for using it. > Is any chance that it will be fixed in stable etch?

Not many people use the linux console nowadays (this bug only affects the linux console, not X!). Even less people use the linux console _and_ need non-latin1 chars. > Does it men that etch will not be ready to UTF-8 for non-Latin1 countries? It _is_ ready for UTF-8 for non-Latin1 countries concerning gnome/kde/etc. desktops. But Linux kernel's console is not. Actually, the linux console sucks for a lot of such utf-8-related things, and not many people are really brave enough to tackle the issue, considering how many people really use it nowadays. Another approach would be to use a framebuffer xterm like bogl or jfbterm. Samuel
