The customization occured after you logged in, right? (which means: your
custom keys didn't work in GDM/KDM?)

You can go back in the past using snapshot.debian.net. If an upgrade of
x11-xserver-utils changed this behavior, we'll need to know which one,
but I currently doubt it's the case.

Yes, I don't see how this could have ever worked for you. Looking at a
Etch system, I can't find anything related to Xmodmap in the scripts
that are loaded when opening a new session.
Are you sure you weren't running xmodmap manually in your .xsession file
or so? Or maybe you add something in /etc/X11/Xsession ?
