thanks

I had this problem to.  Bought a new laptop last sunday, installed 
squeeze.  Did a full upgrade to testing earlier this week, and middle 
button emulation stopped.

I suggest adding a debconf prompt during upgrade, and creating a config 
file snippet in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, with the appropriate option 
enabled.  I might even go so far as to suggest that new installs have 
this prompt too.

If (upgrading & $old_version < $version_with_changed_default) || 
(new_install); then .. fi

Having this break during an upgrade is very bad, imho.

    a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
    without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
