Yes, I forgot the "update-initramfs -u" part in
http://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard and someone changed the
page to another non-working suggestion. It should be corrected now.
Sorry for the confusion.

Beware though that you need to use pb_fnmode=0 instead of pb_fnmode=2
to also correct the Numlock bug.
