has broken is the scrolling wheel on the mouse. not bad for that
big an upgrade! but i want it back ... scanning the list of
packages (following), i can't find any that would have affected
this.

anyone run into this?

Check /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" (if running gpm with repeat=raw, otherwise /dev/psaux, probably)
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

exactly that. well, i have the protocol set to "PS/2", but changing
it and /etc/init.d/gpm/stopping and then starting doesn't affect the
scrolliness at all.

Sorry, I'm not quite following if you mean you have "PS/2" in gpm or X or both. If you're running gpm (and it seems that you are), you'll want it to be "IMPS/2" in both gpm ("/etc/gpm.conf" followed by "/etc/init.d/gpm restart", or run "gpmconfig") and in X ("/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" followed by a restart of X, or run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" followed by a restart of X).
