* To work around limitations of X11's keyboard handling systemd's
keyboard mapping hardware database (hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb) so far
mapped the microphone mute and touchpad on/off/toggle keys to the
function keys F20, F21, F22, F23 instead of their correct key

rely on the old function key code mappings, this mangling has now
been moved to the relevant X11 keyboard driver modules instead. Thus,
in order to ensure these keys continue to work as before, make sure
to update the xf86-input-evdev and xf86-input-libinput packages to
the newest version before updating systemd to v258.
