Actually, after the various mail exchanges about this topic, I'd like to thank Arnaud for all the good work on the *synaptics things.
I happen to have been partly the one reviving this because I worried bout the #372498 bug which hit me hard and I'm glad that things are currently setting up to solve all this. I'm here "only" a user and certainly can't be of any help. But this is actually the occasion to thank everybody involved in all this because all these synaptics things have been, up to now, something that has been pretty much transparent to me: it just used to work, that's all..:-) One last contribution I'd like to add is suggesting to add the relevant packages to the "laptop" task in tasksel. Given that synaptics and related touchpads are very common on laptops these days, it seems pretty much relevant, imho. xfree86-driver-synaptics is already listed there (should be replaced by xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, I guess) but I think that both ksynaptics and gsynaptics should also (given that the "desktop" tasks installs both KDE and Gnome). This is just a matter of sending a wishlist BR to tasksel, indeed.
