Bug#745262: console-setup: Caps lock doesn't take effect on øæå (Danish characters)

[Andreas <andreasrasholm@gmail.com>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.102
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

-- Bug description

On the Linux console the caps lock key doesn't take effect on the Danish characters æøå. With caps lock on they are simply rendered æøå (lower case), and not ÆØÅ as one would expect. Caps lock works as expected on the Linux console in Wheezy. I've made a fresh install of Jessie on a virtual machine on different hardware and the problem persisted.

During installation I chose Danish keyboard layout. In addition I've tried all available settings for Danish keyboard with 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration'. I've also tried installing console-data and then 'loadkeys dk' and 'loadkeys dk-latin1' (the two Danish keymaps available) and the problem persists.
