Yes, if something removes the udev state in /dev/.udev (or /run/udev
on wheezy or sid) then the input device autodetection won't work
when X starts up.

If you have a USB (NOT PS/2) keyboard/mouse, try unplugging and then
plug back in--hotplugging should result in autodetection of the new
input devices.

If you're running wheezy/unstable, and /run is a symlink to /var/run,
your system is broken (/run should not be a symlink), and you should
try the packages at
  http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/sysvinit/
which fix the problem (they'll be uploaded soon).
