I am closing this old bug report since most of input-hotplug stuff
have been implemented properly since then, and then we switched
from hal to udev, making part of this discussion irrelevant.
Then many people commented with not-so related issues.
So this bug an obsolete mess now.
Please open a new bug report if still having issues in unstable.
