Fixing this bug needs fixing of other severe bugs!

One of them:
Bug #255008 is marked as "won't fix". There are a lot of duplicates and it is reported to affect lucid lynx as well (even if filed against intrepid ibex).

Shure every one's bug is the most important (I'm no exception :o))), but
this one affects basic keyboardmapping in X-environment. The keyboard up
to now is the main interface to do things on a computer. Not properly
working keyboard means not properly working ubuntu!

I repeat in this place:
Everyone with a xmodmap customized keyboard mapping doing a LTS upgrade will run in unusable keyboard!

here my resume (which took me 2 days of searching):

If I did severe mistakes bringing this up - please point me out how to
do better! :o))

Bug description:
Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

Steps to repeat:

1. Visit a local PC store.

What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

What should happen:
1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all.
3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
