It should do both (as the description indicates). Please open a bug in our 
trac if it does not work as expected.

No offense taken. I simply would prefer a more reasonable feedback that we can 
process. 
General speaking, we don't want to exclude anything. To provide maximum 
flexibility and freedom we want to move everything to packages. The raster 
keyboard, the button, $whatever can be put into a package and shared with the 
world. There is no need to wait for anyone (including Openmoko) to do that 
for you. Just get your hands dirty and help increasing the choice.
