Thanks João for your interest in the debian vagrant boxes.
Looks like this is coming from our build scripts

$ grep nocaps config_space/debconf/DEBIAN
keyboard-configuration  keyboard-configuration/optionscode      string
ctrl:nocaps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

can you open a bug report at bugs.debian.org ?

I need to find out why we carry that cruft.
