Default Debian configuration: one entry for the mouse device you
selected, one generic entry for USB mice. That way you can simply plug
in another USB mouse (e.g. if you use a laptop).

That's because this settings make problems with kernel 2.6. PS/2 mice
are mapped to /dev/psaux /and/ /dev/input/mice, and with both entries,
all events are registered twice. If you permanently use 2.6,
select /dev/input/mice as your mouse device. Read the kernel 2.6 input
drivers FAQ for more info:
