Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: console-setup

Ubuntu-release: 8.10
Package-version: 1.25ubuntu4

While playing around with a German Keyboard Layout called 'neo' using the 
xkb-key-type 'EIGHT_LEVEL' I noticed that Level5 isn't invoked correctly by 
solely defining 'ISO_Level5_Shift' on the desired key (also see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/49358/comments/10
 ).
This however is resolved by mapping 'ISO_Level5_Shift' to the real modifier 
'Mod3' (works with X environment).
When running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' to compile the layout for 
the console I get these warnings:

WARNING: Unknown X keysym "ISO_Level5_Shift"

As a result Level5 isn't working in tty* (just getting the symbols of Level1). 
I want to mention that it IS defined in '/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h' and 
therefore even 'xkbcomp' recognizes this keysym. Also using the hexcode instead 
of 'ISO_Level5_Shift' didn't solve the problem (although there are no warnings 
in console-setup).
'ISO_Level3_Shift' for Level3 is working fine.
