Author Update broke middle mouse button paste

About a month ago, an update (I am assuming this, since I did not change any
configuration files) broke the middle mouse button paste function. xev
registers buttons 1, 3 (left and right) and 4,5 (up and down scroll - the
middle mouse button on this Microsoft mouse is a scroll wheel+button) but
not button 2. This is a Debian testing + unstable install.

I am managing with Emulate3Buttons in xorg.conf but I absolutely hate having
to use this when I have a functioning middle mouse button just because of
some stupid software bug.

How do I fix this ?

Excerpt from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf :


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
#Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "CorePointer"
EndSection
