woody will not default to devfs, because it introduces too much change.
So, the thing is /dev/input/mice should probably exist in any case
regardless of USB existence, and the package providing the
objects under /dev/ should be fixed.
I recommend filing a bug against such package, but I could not
remember which package offhand.
It could be somewhere along base-files or debootstrap.

Sounds reasonable. This bug may have been fixed in the 20 days or so
since it was created, or maybe it still exists.
That needs some checking.
