This is a bit off-topic, but I'm not sure it warrants a different bug report (feel free to clone): I recently had to support a friend who bought a Dell E6230 and installed Wheezy, but couldn't get the touchpad working (it was detected as a regular PS2 Mouse). The E6230 is a May 2012 release laptop, otherwise identical to the E6220, which had a regular ALPS touchpad with support backported to wheezy in the first days of the freeze. It turns out that the E6230 has a "Rushmore" ALPS touchpad. Support for those was exists in upstream by 1302bac33d9e88cd43e482191a806998f3ed43cc, committed Feb 13, will be in 3.9. cd401204873101245287afc07271b39c79194d9c is probably part of that series too. The support is hence bleeding-edge, but the E6230/E6430/E6530 laptops are out for quite some time and are very popular -- it's basically the 12/14/15 inch Latitudes that are on sale now. I tried backporting that patch and failed miserably. I'm not sure how much more work would it be to apply them and if they'll be accepted into Debian if they have to pull a dozen more commits, esp. this late in the cycle. I'll let you be the judge of that, I was impressed you changed this to "important" :) FWIW, I built psmouse.ko straight of 3.9 and the touchpad works as a charm on that laptop. I can also do more extensive testing with a 3.2 + patches, albeit with a bit of an increased turnaround as I don't own that laptop.
