You're the one using backstreet-ruby, right...?

keybdev has been removed in 2.6 IIUC, and since backstreet-ruby is a
backport of some console and input stuff, keybdev is gone.
The advice I got was to add
above hid usbcore
to /etc/modutils/local (or somewhere equivalent).
Basically, you don't need keybdev, but you have to tell your system
about it... :-)
