With Debian Squeezy (arm) on the Raspberry Pi and Raspbian the keyboard gets random repeats, but with Archlinuxarm no problems. As there's no problems with exactly the same hardware configuration with Archlinux I suspect there's something in the Debian build that creates the problem.
Your keyboard may be drawing a little too much power for the Pi to handle. It can be quite sensitive to voltage. As you are probably aware the USB ports can only supply a maximum of 140mA each, and that's with a good PSU. With borderline power even different software can be enough to cause it to glitch. Try plugging the keyboard into a powered USB hub.
Also, you should check out the Raspberry Pi forums if you haven't done so already. The Troubleshooting forum may help you:

It is my understanding that Raspbian is an unofficial port so I'm afraid you will have to ask the Raspbian developers for this one, unless you can reproduce it with an official Debian kernel (assuming there is one, didn't look into it as I plan to use Raspbian myself as soon as my RPI arrives).
Raspbian is the best (unofficial) Debian port for the Pi. I've been running it, as well as the official Squeeze and Wheezy releases since I got mine.
There's still some work that needs doing to get hardware accelerated graphics working, but that is in progress I believe.
