Look, let's not drag NPR into this.

I think one of the dev management packages--maybe udev or makedev--is
supposed to take care of creating the proper device nodes.  It would
have been interesting to sudo /sbin/MAKEDEV and see if that created the
/dev/input/mice node for you.

These are really typical unstable-type issues. In fact, this is exactly
why we have unstable, so normal Joes don't have to encounter these glitches.
