According to:
https://github.com/jimdigriz/debian-mssp4

Running "kbd_mode -u" afterwards would fix the Caps-Lock key not
working. I have no idea what the wider consequence of this would be

Anything we can do in the kernel to have that working by default?

[1]: kbd_mode callsÂioctl(fd, KDSKBMODE, K_UNICODE) with fd being the
console's fd.
