GPM (General Purpose Mouse) is probably the (ancient) package you're thinking of. Haven't heard anything about it lately.

There should be a version available in the standard Debian repositories.

oddly enough, i can't remember the last time i used gpm. i can remember the first time i used it; wasn't long after my first linux install. – quack quixote Jan 29 '10 at 0:04
