I suppose it is only the case of the i with dot and the dotless i,
not all alphanumeric keys.
The problem is not limited to turkish, but happens also with azeri
and any other language that has those two kind of "i".
Instead of playing with extra groups in the xkb definition files, a much
cleaner solution would be to define the proper case pairs to
be i/Iabovedot and dotlessi/I for the capslock behaviour.
There has been a thread on that topic in the past; maybe someone having
followed it more closely than I did could tell you what was the proposed
solution.

That is not related to the keyboard; but is simply a mismatch between
the glibc locale name and the X11 locale name.
If you had a glibc name being "tr_TR.UTF-8" there would be no such
problem.

Why ?
Note that such change will affect all languages and locales, it is however
unlikely to be accepted as it will break support for all other languages
and keyboards...

That is a quite dirty solution.
Better would be to use the right name in the XFree config file, instead
of using a single name for two different keyboard layout and playing
with file name changes.
