To summarize:
(1) I want to disable the touchpad buttons (because I almost never use
them intentionally, but keep pressing them by accident)
(2) I want to keep using touchpad features like tap-to-press and
scrolling
(3) I want trackpoint to work (these are the mouse buttons that I
prefer to use)
(4) I want hotpluggable USB mice to work
Because of (2) I cannot stop using the synaptics driver.
The synaptics driver doesn't support button remapping (and AFAIK X
doesn't have generic per-device button maps), so I need to patch the
source in any case.
As a result I no longer need to worry about not using /dev/input/mice or
creating udev rules to separate touchpad and trackpoint devices.
Here's the patch:

It Works For Me (TM).
Cheers!
