For the benefit of any others who experience the same problem, I think I've
half solved it (in X (see bug 66991)) - changing the XKBLayout entry in
xorg.conf from "uk" to "gb" solved this so now I can switch to VTs and use Caps
Lock (though now I've lost Scroll Lock but does anything use that anyway?)
Maybe it's the installer selecting a dodgy keyboard layout ("uk") when I select
"United Kingdom" from the presented list, and it should choose "gb" instead?
There's still no Caps in the console though which I would think is of the same
nature - now I must investigate where to change the layout for the console...
