Bug#719494: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ctrl: cannot remap left control key when using ctrl:nocaps option

[Michal Suchanek <michal.suchanek@ruk.cuni.cz>]

Package: xkb-data
Version: 2.5.1-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ctrl

Hello,

I was trying to swap left control and window key and I kept getting both
control and mod4 modifier on left control.

It turns out that ctrl:nocaps unconditionally maps control to left
control. This is useless because the pc keymap already does that mapping
in a more reasonable way and the nocaps mapping conflicts with possible
latter mappings of the left control key.

Please fix the ctrl file.

Thanks

Michal
