You need to purge the hotplug package; it has been removed when your
kernel and udev were upgraded, but its configuration files are still
present and they are known to cause problems with the new udev. (There
should have been a message about this, but it is easy to overlook it
when you are doing an upgrade of many packages.)
Run
dpkg --purge hotplug
as root. After that the status of hotplug should be "pn" instead of
"rc". Reboot and see if the mouse works. (Check with "lsmod" if the
psmouse module has been loaded.)
