I have a funky keyboard layout (mimicking a lisp machine keyboard) where
backspace is mapped onto the caps lock key and nothing is on the backspace
key. With this layout the x-backspace-delete-keys-p function (in xfns.c)
returns false which causes normal-erase-is-backspace-mode not to be turned on
by default.
Looking at the code, it seems that x-backspace-delete-keys-p checks whether
the keyboard has a delete and backspace key and XK_Delete/XK_Backspace is
mapped onto them. I don't know much about other keyboards but checking only
whether XK_Delete/XK_Backspace is mapped to a keycode that belongs to _any_
key in the current keyboard sounds enough. In other words, checking for
DELE/BKSP keys is unnecessary.
Cheers, Gábor Melis
