Bug#241336: Mouse doesn't work after xfree86 upgrade
I'm having a hardware problem on that machine ATM. As soon as I can get it
fixed I'll let you know if that change fixes it.
Additionally if that is indeed the problem it should probably be documented
in the NEWS file or with a debconf prompt or something as the mouse is
relatively important for a GUI.
