There are gdm and ~/.xsession. The latter used to have the following
line:

  setxkbmap us,ru ,winkeys ctrl:swapcaps grp_led:scroll grp:toggle

I restored /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/debian-x11-keymap.fdi
and changed the above line to

  setxkbmap -rules evdev \
    us,ru ,winkeys ctrl:swapcaps grp_led:scroll grp:toggle

Then I restarted hal and gdm and everything went fine! Keyboard works
as expected, no problems noticed.

Thanks a lot, Julien!  Sorry for inconvenience.
