As it was already pointed out by Frantisek, he _does_ add his patch to
every branch shortly before release, for all releases which included
Maemo port.

All your notes to the patch are valid, and I've mentioned the
keymapping in my early email. It is just happened that the porter
never had enough time to get rid of those hacks, and I did not allow
them to be committed in the mainline, hence this problem with patch.

It is problematic to maintain the patch against ever-changing trunk,
thus Frantisek was syncing it only for release branches. Instead of
asking to keep the patch always applicable it would be better to sync
into implementing it properly, e.g. continue with hack implemented by
WinCE or Symbian port, where keymapping is hardcoded in the backend,
or do it in a proper way and invest some time in our unfinished
KeyMapper code.
