Usually sarge asks during setup of X if you have a wheel mouse.  Try:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 -p low, and see if that helps.  If it
does, then I guess wheel mouse questions are not considered essential
and only asked at lower priorities.  You can change default question
priority using: dpkg-reconfigure debconf
