Bug#1005369: xserver-xorg-core: Breaks middle button trackpoint scrolling
No the libinput one is bad.
libinput's author doesn't want options, so there is no way to have
usable input that feels good on thinkpads.
I'm using the xserver-xorg-input-evdev one. I guess when Xorg will be
kicked out of debian, I will need to move to devuan or something like
that, just to avoid libinput's opinions on how my input should work.
