My first reflex would be to look at the xserver-xorg-input-* packages.
If those don't seem to be it, the next thing I think of would probably
be the kernel input-device drivers, which I doubt are packaged
separately from the kernel proper.

There may well be other places in the stack that could be relevant, some
of them potentially between those two, but none that are springing
immediately to my mind.
