USB mouse not working after installing Ubuntu 16.04

[mdo]

I just upgraded to 16.04. Everything seems great other than the USB mouse.
I have exactly the same issue as described here :
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/763511/usb-mouse-not-working-after-installing-ubuntu-16-04-persistent-fix
The solution there works for me too but looking for an upstream fix please.
It was also reported here but that was closed as off topic :

I raised a question first and didn't have any luck :
