Bug#812927: xserver-xorg-input-evdev depend on xorg-input-abi-21 - xserver-xorg-core provide xorg-input-abi-22



Source: xserver-xorg-input-evdev
Version: 1:2.10.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #812927

Dear Maintainer,

The xserver-xorg-input-evdev package and xserver-xorg-input-all package have both been completely removed. The lack of evdev
means that xserver is now unusable, as it is lacking the evdev driver for all input devices.  I would consider this a critical
bug, as the system is completely unusable. I will attempt to rollback xorg, but it's a big complex messy package, and I'm
pretty sure it won't work.

This change in xorg:1:7.7+12:

  * Remove redundant xserver-xorg-input-evdev from xserver-xorg (Already
    in -input-all).

May well be why the system allowed what is a completely broken xorg setup to occur on upgrade. I suspect many others will
report this problem as they uptake the broken xorg that is in sid today.
