I don't think this template should be high unless the mouse cannot be
detected.  On Linux/(i386|amd64|powerpc), which, last I heard, amounted
to well over 95% of Debian archive downloads, /dev/input/mice will
basically always work just fine.  So there's no reason to always prompt
if you don't need to; it's insane.
