I used the same problem on my i386 since I switched to Etch. The caps lock worked but but numbers were also shifted. The only time I noticed it was when typing Canadian postal codes (mine is K0K 3N0) which is easy with caps lock but not with the shift. I was about to say I _have_ the same problem but I guess its been a while since I typed a postal code, testing just now I don't have that problem. The only change I've made is that I have changed local to C and purged the locales package, and I've switched back from terminus font and purged the console related packages (e.g. console-setup). Based on this, you could test by purging the console- stuff if you're using a regular legacy keyboard (as I am) but I don't know if its needed for a USB one.
