Package: gdm3
Version: 2.30.5-8
Severity: important

Using USB mouse and keyboard is suddenly not more automatically
detected. A replug is required to be able to use both mouse and
keyboard. Keyboard and mouse works as expected in console mode but as
soon as gdm3 starts both are unresponsive until replug.
