I believe sometime around 2.6.8 the kernel changed the mouse system so that all mouse events are sent to /dev/input/mice, including ps2 mice, which they didn't before. As a result any install that was done using the old concept, would have a /dev/psaux for ps2 mise and a /dev/input/mice for usb mice entry in X config. Now it should only have /dev/input/mice and all mouse events from all mice will go through that. People with a usb mouse only never noticed the change, but people with ps2 mice all of a sudden got both the psaux and the input/mice event for every even their mouse made. Debian certainly used to add both psaux and input/mice to the X config, and should no longer do so at least if you use a 2.6 kernel.
