Actually, there is (or sure seems to be).

As I mentioned, the documentation that I found did warn me that my
mouse device (/dev/psaux) would change (and therefore gpm and X might
break), but the device the documentation said the mouse would change
to (/dev/input/mouse...) doesn't exist, and the documentation didn't
say anything about what one needs to do to get it to exist (install
packages?  run a new equivalent of MAKEDEV?  mount /sys or similar?).
