Well, the feature either way has been broken for a while
because when the conversion to defopts happened, XSERVER_DDB
got lost and was never defined so that the pf12 magic would
never happen.

This is certainly true.

Let's take a vote and see what people think that pf12 should do
when the serial debugger is running:
	1. When pf12 is typed w/o X running:
		a: enter debugger
		b: do not enter debugger
	2. When pf12 is typed with X running:
		a: enter debugger
		b: do not enter debugger
After my change, 1b and 2a apply.

I guess for completeness I should ask the same question for 
typing cntl-alt-esc when the serial debugger is running:
	1. When cntl-alt-esc is typed w/o X running:
		a: enter debugger
		b: do not enter debugger
	2. When cntl-alt-esc is typed with X running:
		a: enter debugger
		b: do not enter debugger
Here, I believe we have 1b and 2b.
