A good idea. :)
Idealy some future version of loadkeys should automaticaly double the
keysyms and convert CapsLock to CapsShift and in order to do this no
keymap should use CapsShift directly. In console-setup maybe it will be
better to use CtrlL_Lock instead of CapsShift_Lock as CtrlL_Lock is
supported by console-tools and by all kernels.
