So basically, Debian carries a hacked version of SDL that changes the key press behaviour?
Yes, the patch was submitted to not change the default but the maintainer thought he knew better. Or confused an == with a != more likely.
That's a Debian/Ubuntu bug. Shame on them for changing the behaviour of a library API like that.

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).
