[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#537281: Side effects:no X11 input devices, broken avahi

Some serious side effects I've noticed:

 * X11 starts without input devices. If you're using X11 device
   autodetection (through HAL) and display manager, you'll be tossed into X
   without a way to login or switch to a tty. You'll need to SSH into the
   machine remotely, or reboot into single-user mode to log into the
   machine.

 * avahi does not work. On the problematic machine, you'll not be able to
   resolve .local addresses of remote machines, nor will remote machines be
   able to find the problematic machine. This makes the machine inaccessible
   for those who rely on avahi for DNS in their simple networks (I do).
