so you mean the comment should be added to the same line, e.g.

	KEY_102ND,	/* VK_OEM_102 */

yes, the new version prints the whole packet including origin and length. I'm 
fine with this, but you are right that it will change more than just "coding 
style".

On the other hand, I'm a bit reluctant to create yet another patch series. Would 
it be ok to fix the comment issue next time we come across this file and keep 
the more detailed debug output for now?
