Bug#447098: xserver-xorg: keyboard and mouse failed on lenny to sid upgrade



i think i did an "apt-get install xserver-xorg -t unstable", then i
changed my apt preferences to give sid the highest priority, then i
did "apt-get dist-upgrade".

this is probably what happened.  i probably should have paid closer
attention.  this is something to be keep in mind for the xorg
transition to testing.  if people are careless like i was they'll run
into the same problem.

btw, why does xserver-xorg both depends and recommends on
xserver-xorg-video-all and xserver-xorg-input-all?  shouldn't it be
one or the other?
