Still, his request is sane, and now that I am almost done implementing what
you guys asked for and two days away from submitting what is already being
tested to upstream, I'd appreciate if a friendly HAL guru (hint! hint!)
wrote a web-page with all the required changes to HAL to best use
thinkpads...  This means what works on new and old HAL, how to remap the
keys, what to delete/modify to get rid of NVRAM polling...  and sent us the
URL to it.

As for getting rid of thinkpad-keys, I just removed the hotkey-setup package
in Debian, Ubuntu should be the same.
