I personally use setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps However, I believe the OP was asking about whether it's possible to swap Control and CapsLock for the console, outside/before X, so that the change is available system-wide, regardless of which virtual console one happens to be using at the time. I'm interested too, because my 'setxkbmap' based approach fails in interesting ways when using VMs in virt-manager: e.g., pushing control counts as control inside the VM, but turns on caps lock within my desktop's X session, and so on.
