I suspect this is due to the device path for the input node changing from /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio_keys-event to /dev/input/by -path/platform-gpio-keys-event. With the version of qcontrol in Jessie it won't even start if it can't find the device, even though it can do many of its core things without it (the node is for button input only). This is fixed by qcontrol 0.5.4-4 in testing (both looking for old and new names, as well as not treating failure to find either as a catastrophe), but for Jessie you can just edit the path in /etc/qcontrol.conf. If that works for you then it might be worth uploading an updated qcontrol to backports. Thanks, Ian.
