Perhaps you have it configured that way?

  $ grep XKBOPTIONS /etc/default/keyboard | grep --color terminate
  XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,compose:menu,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

That sounds perfectly fine.  I wouldn't quote "formal".  I would quote
it as "heavy". :-)

It probably also depends upon if you are using 'console-tools' or
'kbd'.  If you have a long upgraded system you may be using
console-tools as that was the previous default.  Newly installed
systems in Squeeze 6 have kbd.  I am still using console-tools in
Wheezy 7 as I had issues with kbd.  In Jessie 8 this has been moved
into the 'keyboard-configuration' package.  It seems to be in the
middle of a slow thrash.
