If I append
XKBOPTIONS="caps:none"
to /etc/default/keyboard, and run "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration"
later, then there is a dialog
The current keyboard options in the configuration file /etc/default/keyboard
are defined as XKBOPTIONS="caps:none".
If you choose to keep these options, no questions about the keyboard
options will be asked.
Keep current keyboard options in the configuration file? (yes/no)
If I chose [yes], then the
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
is lost. Instead the caps:none is included twice. Here is the diff between
before and after running dpkg-reconfigure:

This file is processed as a shell script. Therefore, the second
assignment overrides the first one.

This is expected. Try this instead:
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,caps:none"
