Indeed.  Maybe the Debian/Ubuntu maintainers for QEMU and KVM will read 
this thread and make a fuss.

The only reason it is interesting, is that QEMU is actually going 
through efforts to get the same behavior that the Debian/Ubuntu change 
implements (get a press and a release event whenever you toggle Caps Lock).
