Thanks for your reactivity. I had a last minor issue with 1.9.0-4. I got
an error at installation, because the uinput group was not existing. I
modified the kanata.posting with the following patch, and it now works
as expected thanks to your udev rule.

And thanks a lot again for packaging this cool software. It is so great
to be able to just apt install it!
