I don't recall the circumstances, but you could probably google for the
bug reports.

You could also try to file a bug report with Debian and ask for the
defaults to be changed (against the linux-image-* package) but I
wouldn't expect much.

Interesting. What was the decision?

Thanks for the alternate fix, I'll use that instead.

This is a problem not just on Macbooks, but for anyone who uses an
Apple keyboard.

This isn't really a bug. It was a decision made by the kernel
developers, and is a really old problem.

A better solution is to add a file in 
/etc/modprobe.d/
with this: 

options hid_apple iso_layout=0

Pressing ` on Macbook in Debian produces §

2016-04-16 Thread Eric Andrew Lewis 
Hi,

I notice that when I press the backtick key, the section symbol (§) is
produced instead.

This bug has been reported on Ubuntu (#1245081
).

I've found a workaround by placing this in ~/.Xmodmap

keycode  94 = grave asciitilde grave asciitilde grave asciitilde grave
asciitilde

But I wonder, what package is this bug in? Can I help fix it?
