  It was the mention on the bug report Jeff linked to in the ASU 
keyboard thread that we should be using the packages from 
downloads.openmoko.org that put me on the right track, after that it was 
just a matter of poking around to find the up-to-date ASU repositories 
there and update the opkg feed configs.

  Cheers,
   Mike.
