Thanks for the report, I'm updating found versions metadata as well
for the bug in the other series.

I expect that this will be fixed with the next upload in stable (but
unlikely we will/can do another round before).

Hi,

the ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II had a long-standing bug due to
which middle-button scrolling emulation was broken and was reporting
spurious press events.

This was fixed in Linux 5.19 (specifically in commit 24401f291dcc) and
has been working fine ever since.

With the recent update to 6.1.67 in bookworm things are broken again,
it seems that commit 46a0a2c96f0f introduced a regression. The author
of that patch fixed it 3 days ago with commit 43527a0094c1:
