Bug#242987: xfree86-common: strange shift key behavior when caps-lock on

["John V. Belmonte" <jbelmonte@debian.org>]

Package: xfree86-common
Version: 4.3.0-7
Severity: normal

I'm not confident if this is a bug, or if I've chosen the correct package.
In any case, some package that has entered testing during the past week
or so has caused my keyboard to behave badly under XFree86.  Namely,
when caps-lock is enabled, the shift key fails to produce the expected
symbols on non-alphabetic keys.  For example, Shift-5 yields '5' rather
than '%'.  The alphabetic keys work as expected (Shift-A yields 'a').  The
console works correctly.

I'm using a Dvorak layout and Japanese keyboard.
