Title:
  Pressing Caps Lock toggles LED even when mapped to another key

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have the the Caps Lock and Esc keys swapped; that is, pressing Caps
  Lock generates an Esc keycode and vice versa. This was done using the
  options in the keyboard settings, which seem to have disappeared
  recently.

  With this setup, pressing either the Esc and Caps Lock keys will
  toggle the Caps Lock LED. As a result the LED does not accurately
  reflect the state of the caps lock function. My expectation is that
  only the key which toggles the caps lock function (in this case Esc)
  should toggle the LED, and that the state of the LED should always
  accurately reflect the state of the caps lock function.
