I wonder if this would be explained by the following changelog entry:

xfree86 (4.2.1-12) unstable; urgency=high
[...]
  * patch #097: new; add Bartosz Zapalowski's patch for supporting wheel mice
    with large numbers of buttons; the ZAxisMapping option "pushes up" the
    other buttons so that the mouse behaves sanely.  This addresses problems
    with how the X server parses wheel data from at least some devices that
    use the ExplorerPS/2 protocol. (Closes: #166550)
[...]

How recently did you notice this change in scroll wheel behavior?  What
version of the xfree86 packages were you running previously?
