Have you tried building coreutils from source? (I have not.)
On Ubuntu 22.04, `dircolors` generates an LS_COLORS that has ca=30;41.
I looked at the `dircolors` binary with `less`, and I could see that
the string embedded in `dircolors` is different from the
`dircolors.hin` file.
Perhaps Debian or Canonical (or Arch?) are patching `dircolors` to
enable the coloring of capabilities by default?
I haven't researched it further, but Arch Linux applies no patches to
the coreutils package, which you can see on the link below. I don't
know what Ubuntu does.
