Package: kde-config-touchpad
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/applications/kde4/synaptiks.desktop
Tags: patch
Hi,
GNOME and other desktop environments like XFCE have their own infrastructure
to setup and manage touchpads. Thus synaptiks should be hidden there.
It's probably mostly useful for KDE, so the attached patch uses
OnlyShowIn=KDE;
Thanks for considering.
Michael

Version: 0.8.1-2+rm
src:synaptiks was last released with Debian 8 (jessie)
in April 2015 and has been removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by plasma-desktop and transitional packages for
kde-config-touchpad have been provided by src:plasma-desktop in the
subsequent stretch and buster releases, but these are now gone as well.
See https://bugs.debian.org/794256 for details on the removal.
After regular security support for jessie ended in June 2018 and LTS
support ended in June 2020, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
