Bug#914712: Add the touchpad drivers to be able to use any compatible touchpad during the installations

[Job Bautista]

Hi, I also have the same problem. I can't use the Elan 1200 touchpad of my
Asus X441U laptop in graphical install mode for the stretch and 20200808
netinst images. I haven't tested on the buster and bullseye alpha 2 images, but
considering that my touchpad doesn't work on the latest daily snapshot of
netinst, I assume it won't work with the buster and bullseye images either.
Here are some logs from my installed system showing the touchpad I have:

I don't really mind the touchpad not working, because I could just use text
mode, or if I need graphical, I can use my wireless mouse. But others who are
installing Debian on their laptops might find it annoying.

I suggest adding this bug to the buster and bullseye erratum, like "Touchpad
not working in graphical install".

What hardware is this? We have touchpad drivers already, but some bits
can be missing (see #926057).
