Title:
  Apple USB ISO keyboard has incorrectly swapped keys

Status in Mactel Support:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in xkeyboard-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since upgrading kernel to version 2.6.24-12.22 two keys are now
  swapped on my Apple USB aluminium keyboard with danish layout. Now the
  keys "<" and "½" are swapped and no longer matches the actual print on
  the keycaps.

  The error is isolated to the following commit:
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-
  hardy.git;a=commitdiff;h=efb3031b446d441dca5b10619503ac0bba7f9748

  This commit introduced a key swapping for all "ISO" type Apple
  keyboards. In my case this swapping is incorrect, and generally it
  seems like a very bad idea to perform hard coded locale specific key
  mapping in kernel space as this is also done several places in user
  space.

  The included patch reverts the behavior to the default that matches
  the keycap printing.
