For the impatient, open a terminal. Type:
echo XKBOPTIONS= | sudo tee -a /etc/default/console-setup

Well, it seems I'm not so rusted anymore. I managed to solve this issue.

When looking at the output from "setxkbmap -query" I found that the
options contained (by default) "compose:lwin", along other irrelevant
parameters. I looked up in "/etc" and found that the file "/etc/default
/console-setup" contained a (commented) line that read exactly like what
I got from setxkbmap. The line started with "# XKBOPTIONS=". I
uncommented the line by removing the "# " string at the beginning. Then
I removed everything between the quotes leaving an empty string.

This fixed the problem, there's no more "options" section when I use
"setxkbmap -query", and my left Windows key is mapped to L_Super (super)
instead of Multi_Key (compose).

I hope this is useful for someone.
