  ok, I had this:

    $ xmodmap | grep mod1
    mod1 Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x7e)

  I don't remember having Meta_L there any time, i.e. before dfsg.1-5.
  So after doing:

    $ xmodmap -e 'clear mod1 -e 'add mod1 = Alt_L'

  everything seems to do fine again.
  Note that xmodmap -e 'remove mod1 = Meta_L' didn't work for me.

  See also #254923.

  HTH,
