Bug#516028: xserver-xorg-input-all: Key and mouse acting weird after dist-upgrade Debian testing (escape sequence injection)
I just found this mail thread:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2009/02/msg00042.html
Stefan writes there that:

Sounds very much like my problem. In this thread they pinpoint the
problem to xkb-data (1.5-2) which I also have installed. They have this

I guess I will try this as well.
