I haven't really corrected anything. There is a fuller picture at

 https://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/configure-input.html

  When udev is used (on GNU/Linux, starting with squeeze), one
  has totell udev to reload input-related configuration:
  udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change (that
  can be found in keyboard-configuration’s README.Debian file).
