It is impossible to support shifts_toggle on the Linux console. Thats why this option is not included in the debconf menu. I added the tag wontfix because I think it will be inconvenient for the users to include partialy supported options. If the other developers think that shifts_toggle should be included in the menu, I will make the required changes. The proper way to tune the configuration of console-setup is to either use dpkg-reconfigure or to edit directly /etc/default/console-setup. The values in the debconf data-base are ignored.
