The armadillo book (p 170) shows "Swapping the control and caps lock keys"

! Caps Lock == Control
xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock" \
  -e "keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L" \
  -e "add Control = Control_L"

! Swap Caps_Lock and Control_L
xmodmap -e "\
  remove Lock = Caps_Lock \
  remove Control = Control_L \
  keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock \
  keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L \
  add Lock = Caps_Lock \
  add Control = Control_L"

You wouldn't use both of these.

Hope this helps,
