Well, I wouldn't consider a non working FN+F5 key as "breaking a working system"
 but rather an annoyance. But your complaint is noted.

It has to be said, that the keyboard mappings in hal-info have been converted to
the new udev format, so if you had those changes upstream in hal-info there
should be no breakage.

I'll bump the udev dependency and probably also add a note in NEWS.Debian with a
reference to /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt for people that have local
modifications.
