There was a time I actually understood the USB subsystem (two years ago or so). Now all I do is - use a stock Debian woody kernel (2.4.18-{k7|686}) in my case) - apt-get install hotplug and it all works pretty much by itself. With my USB keyboard and mouse I see $ /sbin/lsmod | grep usb usbkbd 2944 0 (unused) usbmouse 1792 0 (unused) input 3424 0 [keybdev usbkbd mousedev hid usbmouse] usb-uhci 21508 0 (unused) usbcore 49696 1 [usbkbd hid usbmouse usb-uhci]
You don't need usbkdb or usbmouse. For USB mouse and keyboard support you should have:
usbcore usb-[ou]hci input hid mousedev keybdev
