I can not provide the exact wording but I suppose s.t. like the following can be used (based on /usr/share/doc/xkb-data/NEWS.Debian.gz and the text of Petr Baudis): After the upgrade, the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key combination can no longer be used to kill the X server. If you would like to re-enable this functionality globally, use "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" or simply add an option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" in /etc/default/keyboard to the value of the variable XKBOPTIONS. If you would like to re-enable this feature for a particular user only, you may do so with the desktop's Keyboard Preferences application of the respective user. You may also enable it for the current session using the command "setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp".
