Please note, BL is not a "rolling release"! It is Debian Stable, with some of our own packages and scripts.
Ok I understand it is point release. The new one will be BunsenLabs "Helium" right ?

I've been known to have the habit of asking a bit *too* many questions as well...lol. Yes Helium will be the new "stable" release of Bunsenlabs. It will correlate with Debian's Stretch release. (which is on it's way to stable). Just like Debian has it's inteirum of Stretch-testing to Stretch-Stable, our Bunsenlabs, as Deuterium, which is likewise, point released. So Deuterium is pretty much the "on the way" release to Helium.

Interesting. Are you sure you have the correct keyboard layout active? When launching `xev` from a terminal, what output do you get when pressing CapsLock and Shift?

Wait a minute, that's not you. :8
Keyboard with a back light. Must be nice. Hope you get the keys sorted out.

If I'm using previous ISO before current one do I have to download and install again whole system ? (After Final Deuterium release) Does simple apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade will be enough ?

Yes.
The new ISOs are just a refreshed version of Hydrogen (see the naming scheme?) (the most important feature probably being to install UEFI-clean straight from the start). Just continue to update your system and you'll receive all updates and upgrades as usual.
I just wanted to be sure ;-) Thank you very much for answering
