There is a (policy?) problem with the upgrade
as this new input scheme breaks one's configuration.
I tried upgrading to the xserver-xorg packages
from the experimental section and then even
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
which produces a broken xorg.conf...

I tried removing all InputDevice references,
but still got double keyboard input.
Adding
Option          "AutoAddDevices"        "false"
finally leads to a workable X11, but this is hardly
the correct solution.

Now that the upgrade is at least working, I will look
a bit further to understand the new scheme...
