My keyboard config is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf

The control/capslock key mapping still works, but the keyboard layout
is borked.  If I remove that file, the control/capslock mapping stops
working (as expected), and the kayboard layout is OK.

Next, I tried just removing 'Option "XkbLayout'", and that made no
difference.  Here is what I started with:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "keyboard-all"
        Driver "libinput"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us"
        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection

Here's what I have no (no difference in behavior):

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "keyboard-all"
        Driver "libinput"
        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
