I made a quick fix for this problem. It's based on kbd's showkey that DOES show scancodes. It looks into configuration table and stuffs required keysyms into X via Xtst package. Ugly, buggy and setuid (to read console under X you have to be setuid), but it works (at least for me) and requires only installation of the deb package. Lucid package is here:
