Rebinded key becomes un-changeable

That was exactly what I was doing before getting the commit 8fc3c40, but now
I no long need this workaround, thanks a lot and thank you for telling me
the difference between the two.

This is because the key binding for (kbd "<backspace>") prevents the
<backspace> event from being translated into the ASCII character DEL
(that is, ?\d), which is what ibuffer binds. The immediate solution
is therefore to add a binding for <backspace> instead:

   (evil-define-key 'normal
     ibuffer-mode-map (kbd "<backspace>") 'ibuffer-unmark-backward)

However, there is a problem: <backspace> bindings aren't recognized
at all when running Emacs in the terminal, where Backspace /is/ DEL.
So Evil should always bind (kbd "DEL") instead of (kbd "<backspace>").
This has been fixed in commit 8fc3c40.
