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It has been superseded by plasma-desktop and transitional packages for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