Package: kde-config-touchpad
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: normal
My laptop has an LED light that is supposed to light up when the touchpad is
disabled.
[ 8.102613] Registered led device: dell-laptop::touchpad
The LED interface appears to be properly detected by the kernel (3.6 head).
Also, the LED works properly and can be turned on / off by doing this:
Aya:/sys/devices/platform/dell-laptop/leds/dell-laptop::touchpad# echo "1" >
../brightness
Aya:/sys/devices/platform/dell-laptop/leds/dell-laptop::touchpad# echo "0" >
../brightness
So I believe it's just a matter of getting kde-config-touchpad to use the LED
associated with the touchpad.

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It has been superseded by plasma-desktop and transitional packages for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.
