No.  Should I ?  Maybe that's a makedev bug...

So it's normal to have two mice input devices?

Oh, duh, of course.

For your info, these are the xkb settings I use in xfree v3, which
work fine:

    XkbRules    "xfree86"
    XkbModel    "sun"
    XkbCompat   "compat/complete"
    XkbTypes    "types/complete"
    XkbKeycodes "sun(type5)"
    XkbGeometry "sun(type5unix)"
    XkbSymbols  "sun/us(sun5)"

Let me know anything I can do to help.  Wish I was an expert debconf
hacker, so I could give you patches...
