ok, I had this: $ xmodmap | grep mod1 mod1 Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x7e) I don't remember having Meta_L there any time, i.e. before dfsg.1-5. So after doing: $ xmodmap -e 'clear mod1 -e 'add mod1 = Alt_L' everything seems to do fine again. Note that xmodmap -e 'remove mod1 = Meta_L' didn't work for me. See also #254923.
