I find myself swayed by the arguments here.  I withdraw my endorsement
and switch to the "backspace should be ^H" camp.

HOWEVER.  I would like to do so with the following stipulation: We
make it a priority of the 2.1 installation that SOME way of selecting
from canned keymaps (including a <bs>/<del> and <clock>/<lctrl>
swapped version of the standard US keyboard) be provided at
installation time, and that this keymap also having the option of
becoming the new *default* (it could be placed in /etc/rc.local
automatically).

I will try to work something up.  Any suggestions on *squeezing* the data
files in question would also be happily accepted.
