- <para>The behaviour of the Backspace and Delete keys is not consistent

- <para>Remove the redundant <command>resizecons</command> program (it requires

- <note>
- <para>For some languages (e.g., Belarusian) the Kbd package doesn't
- provide a useful keymap where the stock <quote>by</quote> keymap assumes
- the ISO-8859-5 encoding, and the CP1251 keymap is normally used. Users of
