Hi,

I would like to request that the mapping of the PageUp/PageDown keys to
history-search-{forward,backward} be enabled by default in the inputrc
file shipped by us.  I don't know how popular this feature is in
general, but I am a heavy user of it, and I also know several people who
can't live without it.  Having to modify your /etc/inputrc file (or
provide another on your $HOME) is not practical and takes some time to
figure out if you are new to Debian and don't really understand how
readline works.

I tried to find in the archives a technical reason that could explain
why the feature is disabled by default, but I did not find anything.
Therefore, I am sending a patch to do it.  Please let me know if you
need anything else.

Thanks,
