FWIW, updating Xorg to -69 and xkeyboard-config to 0.6-3 didn't help.
(everything else is at least breezy latest+greatest)
I don't know if this is of any importance, but dpkg complained about
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc being non-plain/non-symlink conffile (it's a
directory), twice.

Installing Xorg from debian/experimental 6.8.99.900.dfsg1-0pre1 made
everything (including scandics) work again.

I'd guess some upgrade path is broken. This particular installation is
originally debian/slink updated through the years, so there may be some
clutter throwing new packages off.

I don't know how to tackle this, but given some instructions I'm willing
to try searching for cause of this problem.
