Package: g15daemon
Version: 1.9.5.3-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders g15macro package unusable


Installing the g15daemon package (required for g15macro) in lenny 
currently creates a /etc/default/g15daemon file which sets the LCD 
applet switching switch key to "MR" (Macro Record), instead of 
the standard L1 key. This renders the related package g15macro largely 
unusable because the MR keypress is not passed to g15macro, so it is 
not possible to record a macro (there does not appear to be any 
provision to change the key used by g15macro to initiate recording).

Unless there is some reason I am not aware of that using the 
default L1 key to switch applets causes a problem (are there some G15 
keyboards somewhere that haven't got one?), I would suggest 
that SWITCH_KEY be either set to L1 or commented out by default in 
/etc/default/g15daemon.

The "-s" argument to g15daemon (used by /etc/init.d/g15daemon when 
SWITCH_KEY="MR") appears to be present in g15daemon only to allow 
compatibility with early versions (<1.2), and its use is "not 
recommended" by g15daemon's author (see g15daemon README), presumably 
because it conflicts with g15macro and makes key usage inconsistant with 
Logitech's G15 software for Windows.
