Yes, but since all of the EFL releases have soname 1, they're
indistinguishable to the linker.  Raster's advice is always to remove
stray installations when mysterious crashes happen, and he's almost
always been right.

Worked for me - I don't understand how mode switch works, so I couldn't
type i or e anymore, but that's probably my ignorance.  E didn't mind at
all, or even seem to notice.

I agree, it's a frustrating default for unix-like WM + trackpoint users.
libinput expects the desktop env to give the user config control for the
input devices.  In Gnome, you'd change the config for your trackpoint
once and be done with it.  E lacks that piece, so you gotta do it
yourself.
