Yes, please report that to Debian BTS

ktouch looks as if it requires an elogind based system. Changing over is fine so
long as you ensure you do it completely and don't have a mixture of consolekit
and elogind.
I suggest you specify 'apt install ktouch libpam-elogind policykit-1' to help
apt find the right solution.
Once you have done that you will need to log out and back in again.
