Dmitry,
someone on debian-68k reported the bug, which (to me) indicates that the code is not just used by me.
Whether or not a functioning Capslock is essential to have? You be the judge of that. If you are OK with applying the keymap patch, why not this one?
Debian will carry stable patches without explicit action on behalf of the maintainer. Unstable patches are a little harder to get accepted.
Cheers,
Michael

The CapsLock key on Atari keyboards is not a toggle, it does send the normal make and break scancodes.
Drop the CapsLock toggle handling code, which did cause the CapsLock key to merely act as a Shift key.
This has been broken for 10+ years. Does it really make sense to promote it to stable?
