as-salamu alaykom,

  jazak Allahu khairan, I was wondering if anyone has a fix for the acon 
  package in Edgy. The problem is that cp-1256 keymap does not work, 
  although if I recall correctly, it did work in Dapper (acon package 
  wasn't in their repos in Dapper, but I used to have a self-built 
  package while using Dapper).

  Btw, why Kubuntu & not Ubuntu ?
