Mouse clicks with the touchpad are not disabled in Debian by default afaik.
I am in favour of having mouseclicks with the touchpad enabled as the
contrary seems even more confusing. I've seen in one user testing
session when this was not yet the case that people were completely
unable to understand why they could not click as they normally do.
There is always one or the other person who has problems with either one
of the solutions I fear.
