Installing "linux-image-extra" does the trick. I noticed it was installed for the older images, but upgrading to -24/-25/-26 did not pull it. Would be nice if I would not have to manually make sure the package is installed in the future. And a keyboard driver should perhaps not reside in an optional package.
