Solved the problem by the following procedures:
1) Download and extract the arch package
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint.tar.gz
2) Download the source packages of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_1.7.4 and
xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.8.2 from the debian unstable branch
Place all three packages (extracted) in the same folder (<folder>) such
that the three packages reside in <folder>/arch, <folder>/synaptics and
<folder>/evdev (rename the folders where necessary).
Run the following script:
#!/bin/bash
cp
synaptics/src/{eventcomm.c,eventcomm.h,properties.c,synaptics.c,synapticsstr.h,synproto.c,synproto.h}
evdev/src
cp synaptics/include/synaptics-properties.h evdev/src
cp arch/*.patch evdev
cd evdev
patch -p1 -i 0001-implement-trackpoint-wheel-emulation.patch
patch -p1 -i 0008-disable-clickpad_guess_clickfingers.patch
patch -p1 -i 0010-add-synatics-files-into-Makefile.am.patch
dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-input-evdev_*.deb
sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
sudo cp arch/90-evdev-trackpoint.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

Title:
Middle button does not work for scrolling
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
With my Lenovo T440s laptop the Trackpad/Trackpoint laptop scrolling
does not work when pressing middle button + moving the Trackpoint.
evdev seems to be set correctly ( http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/416732/
). Middle button itself works fine for middle clicks just no
scrolling.
