Annoying 2.4 -> 2.6 keycode change

I'd like to point out http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1637 (and my earlier #1140 which got closed as "DOCUMENTED", but I have no idea what documentation this refers to), which describes a behaviour change from 2.4 to 2.6 on some European USB keyboards, where the key next to enter (' and * on a finnish layout, \| on US) gets mapped to 84 by hid-input.c, which is defined as Last_Console or SAK by just about all of the keymaps in the kbd package.

XFree86 was fine until 2.6.1-rc1 (with "2.4 compatibility fixes") after which it started to handle the key as "Print Screen"

So, either the hid-input (and usbkbd?) mapping or most of the keyboard layouts of kbd and XFree86 need to be fixed.
