I did the following:

Edited:
 $ sudo mcedit /etc/default/keyboard

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="hu"
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:swapcaps"
BACKSPACE="guess"

according to man keyboard
XKBOPTIONS may have values described here:
 $ mlocate xorg.lst
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
/usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/xorg.lst
These two files are identical.

 $ less /usr/share/doc/keyboard-configuration/xorg.lst

The edited /etc/defalut/keyboard file came a live for the console after 
the following command: 

 $ sudo setupcon

For X Window maybe one must relogin.
