Bug#1111472: general: Big issues with ThinkPad's Dual Mouse (Trackpad/Trackpoint) setup

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
Lenovo Thinkpad's are commonly used for Linux installs due to their modular and readily-available parts nature.
Lenovo Thinkpads (modern ones) have a dual mouse setup, a regular Trackpad and also the Thinkpad Trackpoint (little red nib)
This causes an insane amount of mouse glitches, including triggering the known bug where the cursor moves on it's own
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I was forced to disable the trackpad entirely. 
   * What was the outcome of this action?
I now use the Trackpoint to navigate, however it is frustrating to scroll because you have to hold the middle mouse button down-
 to scroll with the trackpoint, but under Debian it triggers a paste action. 
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Would really like a option to disable middle-click paste (yes you can disable paste selection on middle click, but not the clipboard)
Would also really like to increase reliability on dual mouse setups (Quite rare- but especially applicable to Thinkpad laptops)
I may have also been able to disable the trackpoint, but couldn't find this option in the GUI, so disabled the trackpad instead.
Would be really nice to have both working at once.

So to summarise, this is an issue concerning buggy support for dual-mouse setups that especially effects Lenovo Thinkpad laptops.

Thanks.
