Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.11.1.902-1

Undeniable proof that xserver-xorg-core cannot read symlinks here:
$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/66-jidanni.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Bypassed Busted Keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd"
	Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection

Does not work.

If one uses instead
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event0"
then it works perfectly.

Even though
$ ls -og /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 9 11-15 07:08 /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd -> ../event0

Removing MatchIsKeyboard "on" does not help.
