I followed Mr. Keeling's suggestion and, at the end of
dpkg-reconfigure, I got an warning message:

Well, /etc/X11/X is a link to xorg executable, and I haven't touched
it, so I got confused.
Being puzzled, I removed the xorg.conf file to give Xorg defaults a
try, and that way,
it restarts properly. At this point, mouse, keyboard and modes are
not ok yet, but I have
(from Xorg.0.log) a good starting point.
However, I don't know what does the dpkg-reconfigure message above
mean, and I don't know why it haven't generated a new xorg.conf

You write the choices you made while running 'dpk-reconfigure xorg' by
doing:
dexconf -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Of course, you may want to back up the existing file first.
dexconf did it. Now everything is ok.
A diff between the old and the new xorg.conf showed only:

I tried reversing each one of those differences, hitting
ctrl-alt-backspace each time to identify which solved the
problem, and could not find which one did it - I guess
xorg doesn't re-read /etc/X11/xorg.conf at a
ctrl-alt-backspace.
If someone find it wold be interesting, I can do
further testing.
Thank you everyone for your time and assistance.
