Here is what I found when I tested. I can carry out tests etc that are requested. I am running debian unstable on i386 with udev 074-3. There are reports from others on the problem occuring with amd64.
It is definitely userspace but I don't know enough about that to say whether it is udev (Debian rules) or something else. I used git-bisect with 2.6.14 and 2.6.15-rc1 as start and end points. In the end the patch which caused it to break was the final one - just altering the Makefile with the version number. I've reverified as well by going back to 2.6.15-rc1 and just altering it to 2.6.14 and the problem (mousedev not loaded automatically and no /dev/input /mice) disappears. I almost thought I'd made a mistake in my testing until I manually altered that makefile!! It is definitely not a kernel issue in my opinion.
