Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.113

I maintain a /etc/default/keyboard configuration where capslock is
purged system-wide - I add ',caps:none' at the end of 'XKBOPTIONS'.

Whenever this package is upgraded/reinstalled, my configuration is
overwritten back to the default. From what I can tell, I am correct in
editing this file - so please can this file be left alone unless I
specifically allow it to be altered (e.g. if aptitude wants to change
it, the usual config text UI comes up showing before and after changes
to the file).

Thanks
