I did some brief testing with the Alpha 6 Live CD (the machine is
essential, so I can't do more rigorous).  The lmpcm_usb module did load,
and none of the MX1000 buttons were recognized as keyboard buttons.
However, the cruise & forward/back buttons have historically been
recognized as "double" events, associated with two mouse button presses,
which allowed the ability to distinguish cruise from the scroll wheel.
This was not the case; of the four buttons, only the forward cruise was
recognized as two buttons, and that as a 5/9 pair that would not allow
for reliable separation from the scroll.  This was with xorg.conf
configured identically as the 7.10 install (followed by an X restart to
load evdev).

Two issues I am not able to test with the Live CD are whether the module
still intereferes with hibernate/standby, and whether it loads
consistently instead of intermittenly.  Even with the results above, I'd
have to continue to blacklist it.

With regards to the right package, it a) only recently became clear to
me with launchpad that anyone can change items like that (launchpad
desperately needs a proper FAQ/Guide for "everybody," not just people
who might be interested in using it as a development platform), and b)
it wasn't at all clear that this WAS associated with the kernel, nor
does the wiki guide clarify the issue.
