[Bug 408903] Re: Does not handle microphone mute button (KEY_MICMUTE)

> right, we still need to change other components, I've tagged the
verification-done because the only piece up for verification at the
moment is libx11 and you verified that one, getting it in updates would
put us one step closer from fixing the issue right?

This is exactly right.

>> Additionally, this requires a revert of xkeyboard-config that we have in -proposed. I'm not sure how to work that because this is my first verification-failed bug, but I assume I can just revert it.

This is in relation to bug #937822. Since that bug is verification-
failed, we pulled the update of xkeyboard-config from the -proposed
archive. But it's still living out in the launchpad bzr code archive. So
specifically, my question is whether I should branch from the -updates
lp archive or the -proposed lp archive (and pull the patch, as I have
have done). I've ran into this situation before in bug 1011073 but
cyphermox solved it for me. Sorry if this is too much minutia.

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
   * People buying thinkpad hardware are not able to use a mic mute key, that comes with 
     their machine

  [Test Case]

   * Press mic mute key
   * Observe that nothing happens

  [Regression Potential]

   * Very low. This is very isolated code. All it does is add functionality. In fact there 
     are very few deletions in the diffs.

   * There is an existing acpi solution, that's already been mentioned in this bug. I'm 
     not sure how these users would be affected once the upgrade hits, but it was never 
     released as an official fix.

  [Original Report]

  Pressing the new microphone mute button does not do anything.  It
  should toggle the mute on the current capture device and toggle an led
  that is part of the button.

  acpi_listen output:

  ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000101b
