Debian does NOT read $HOME/.Xmodmap by default.
You have to create new startup file:
# /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40xcustom_load-xmodmap
SYSMODMAP=/etc/X11/Xmodmap
USRMODMAP=$HOME/.Xmodmap
if [ -x /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap ]; then
if [ -f $SYSMODMAP ]; then
xmodmap $SYSMODMAP
fi
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap ]; then
if [ -f $USRMODMAP ]; then
xmodmap $USRMODMAP
fi
fi
#EOF
This file is sourced by a shell script so it does not need to be
executable.
