Yes, if something removes the udev state in /dev/.udev (or /run/udev on wheezy or sid) then the input device autodetection won't work when X starts up. If you have a USB (NOT PS/2) keyboard/mouse, try unplugging and then plug back in--hotplugging should result in autodetection of the new input devices. If you're running wheezy/unstable, and /run is a symlink to /var/run, your system is broken (/run should not be a symlink), and you should try the packages at http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/sysvinit/ which fix the problem (they'll be uploaded soon).
