I guess yes. > which confusingly appears to be a > pending change from "b" to "r" (the opposite of what you have above)? Indeed, that's what #769464 says. If the text would be: The combination of "Alt-SysRq s", "Alt-SysRq u", and "Alt-SysRq b" is good for getting out of really bad situations without hard resetting the system. it would make some sense. I vaguely remember the linux kernel recently changed meaning of these alt-sysrq-keys; perhaps that's related too. > The text also has a debian-l10n-english nit: "an" before "usable" > should be "a", or in this case preferably just omitted - "and gaining > usable keyboard access". ACK. I don't know what would be the best solution here. Baptiste: thanks for bringing up this issue!
