Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have minimal Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed with all default settings and minimal set of packages on the laptop or desktop with physical CapsLock / Caps Lock LED indicator on the case or keyboard.
2. Boot the system using default settings
3. Login to the system
4. Press `<Caps Lock>` key, enter some letters in CAPITALS (while CapsLock LED is on)
5. Press `<Caps Lock>` key again, enter some letters in lowercase (while CapsLock LED is off)
Expected results:
* CapsLock key toggles CapsLock LED, the LED state indicates current CapsLock key function
Actual results:
* CapsLock LED is always off

The bug is actually in `kdb` package. Forcibly purging it using `sudo dpkg -P --force-all kbd` fixes the issue. But this package is useful. Please fix this bug.
