No, the X.Org packages do that. The installer itself has no role in that at all. I'm now reopening the report and reassigning it to the relevant package. I'm also setting myself as submitter of the report so I can keep track of it better. Hopefully the X.Org maintainers can improve the default configuration for Alps touchpads (I have one myself :-) Especially since it _is_ quite easy to detect them based on the info in /proc/bus/input/devices.
