So much for that...just had another lockup.
Nothing in Xorg.0.log.  The following tidbit is
in syslog:

Jan 17 10:50:42 gauss kernel: [48543.711837] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x0 on isa0060/serio0).
Jan 17 10:50:42 gauss kernel: [48543.711842] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes 00 <keycode>' to make it known.
Jan 17 11:17:01 gauss /USR/SBIN/CRON[6167]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)

The atkbd message occured at least 15 minutes before the lockup.
The cron job occurred near the time of the lockout; I'll keep track
of that in the future.

Not sure how to file a useful Debian bug; what package 
would this apply?  If I knew that ...
