I'm on an nVidia Mac Mini (Macmini3,1) running Jaunty, and the num-lock
key works fine, but caps lock has the problem described here (key works,
but the light doesn't light up).  Removing the mouseemu package does
correct the problem, as others here have stated, and does not disable
the rest of my keyboard, nor does it seem to affect the operation of my
mouse at all.  I did already have applesmc loaded in the kernel (I
didn't have to add that).

Bug description:
the two common led on my keyboard (NumLock and CapsLock) stopped functioning properly.
The related key continue working (if I press CapsLock characters get enabled and disabled, even if I don't see the light), but the leds don't give any response. Regarding to the NumLock key it doesn't work in MacBook probably missing some xmap configuration in x11-xkb-utils.
 
My xmodmap file has this configuration:
keycode 115 = ISO_Level3_Shift
keycode 49 = section plusminus
keycode 94 = grave asciitilde
