As I believed to experience this bug ( comment #10 ), it is now working for me with these updates (through Update Manager). There was a link to Bug #363169 in the update notification, so maybe these are dupes? BTW, that bug is in libxklavier, and has duplicate bugs filed against xserver-xorg-input-evdev as comment #17 suggested.
That is, after these updates, I can now unplug and replug an external keyboard and retain my Dvorak layout settings.
