AFAIU, in GNU Emacs (under the old behavior prior to revno 100822) the
relation between the primary selection and the kill ring was
asymmetrical: killed text would set PRIMARY, but changes in PRIMARY
would not modify the kill ring, _except_ if the user pasted it in some
manner into the current session. The idea was that if the user pasted
the selection, it is not exactly "ephemeral" for her, and does not
constitute pollution.

Yes, we have this in mouse.el:
(global-set-key [M-mouse-1] 'mouse-start-secondary)
(global-set-key [M-drag-mouse-1] 'mouse-set-secondary)
(global-set-key [M-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary)
(global-set-key [M-mouse-3] 'mouse-secondary-save-then-kill)
(global-set-key [M-mouse-2] 'mouse-yank-secondary)
