Hmm from the 2.6.32 base kernel we get the following but nothing similar
from the Lucid kernel:

    [    9.495785] IBM TrackPoint firmware: 0x0e, buttons: 3/3
    [    9.737128] input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as 
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/input/input12

The driver support for that device is enabled by the fragment below:

    #ifdef CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT
        {
                .type           = PSMOUSE_TRACKPOINT,
                .name           = "TPPS/2",
                .alias          = "trackpoint",
                .detect         = trackpoint_detect,
        },
    #endif

And this does appear to be enabled in our kernel:

debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y

If we compare the two dmesg files in greater details we can see that the
mouse is being found but miss-classified, in the working case:

  [    0.729671] input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as 
/devices/virtual/input/input3
  [    0.792019] serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1

  [    9.737128] input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as 
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/input/input12

In the broken case:

  [    0.544008] input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as 
/devices/virtual/input/input3
  [    0.602217] serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1

  [    8.158980] input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as 
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/input/input12

Now ... why are we doing _that_ I wonder.
