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.

Severity: important

Dear maintainer,

xserver-xorg-input-evdev depend on xorg-input-abi-21 - xserver-xorg-core 
provide xorg-input-abi-22, it will be hard to
install thes packages together. Please build -evdev again and let it pick up 
the right dependencies.

Cheers Alf
