I got a hint from the hal maintainer to look at
  /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt
which I don't have as I'm running the udev from lenny (0.125-7+lenny3 to
be exact).

But that might explain the difference.  Are you using udev from unstable?
Then I guess this is mostly a missing update of the hal dependency on
udev.  The newest version probably requires udev >= 146-?

I don't seem to have rfkill-input anymore, but there is something still
reacting to the rfkill...  That's another change I've been wondering
about: 

bjorn@nemi:~$ ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.31-1-amd64/kernel/net/rfkill/
total 44
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43997 2009-10-24 20:13 rfkill.ko

It's there in 2.6.30-2-amd64:

bjorn@nemi:~$ ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-amd64/kernel/net/rfkill/rfkill-input.ko 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14001 2009-09-26 00:23 /lib/modules/2.6.30-2-amd64/kernel/net/rfkill/rfkill-input.ko

Are you still using an older kernel, or is my installation missing
something?
