There is another bug, a 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' adds a wrong 
'Driver "keyboard"' string.
---8<---
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "keyboard"
        Option          "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "de"
        Option          "XkbVariant"    "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Changing 
Driver          "keyboard"
to 
Driver          "kbd"
fixes the problem
