This bug occurred here with this combination:
xserver-xorg 1:7.4+4
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.5-1
xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.2.5-1
xserver-xorg-input-kbd not installed
Even though this bug has been filed on xserver-xorg-input-kbd,
which I don't have installed, the symptoms match.
It typically happens when I switch from X to tty1 with
Ctrl+Alt+F1 and keep the F1 key pressed a bit too long.
The X server then keeps sending events about the key.
In powertop, this appears to cause almost 30 wakeups per second
and increase the power consumption by about 2 watts.
