Hi,

Please add the keymap for the PinePhone keyboard[1]. The keymap is
already available in the kbd project since 2022, here:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/kbd/-/blob/debian/latest/data/keymaps/pine/en.map

The keymap is essential to be able to type characters like '-' (AltG+7)
or '|' (AltG+1), and others used a lot on the command line.

Thanks,
  Eugen

Hi,

I don't need it anymore in console-data, since the PinePhone keyboard is
already supported in xkb-data and, as I realized, it works also on the
console. Yay!

To configure it, I had to install console-setup package (that also
brings xkb-data and keyboard-configuration packages).
Then set these values in /etc/default/keyboard:
XKBMODEL="ppkb"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

From my viewpoint, this wishlist bug can be closed.

Thanks,
  Eugen
