evdev broken

Hello,
yesterday I upgraded my Debian Sid system a bit and to fulfill the
dependencies also a more recent xserver-xorg-input-evdev package was
installed. This causes some problems:
1) If I don't configure anything about keyboard and mouse in xorg.conf, I
can't login anymore, since each keystroke will print the the character
trice.
2) If I set the kbd driver as below in my xorg.conf, there are still issues
left. E.g. ctrl+c will restart X.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "keyboard"
Driver "kdb"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
EndSection
Present solution: Before starting X: rm -f /dev/input/event*
Version: 1:2.1.1-1
Replaces: xserver-xorg (<< 6.8.2-35)
Provides: xserver-xorg-input-4
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7-1), xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.5.99.901)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bernd
