Package: tpconfig
Version: 3.1.3-14
Severity: normal

tpconfig utility does not work at all on kernels 2.6 and above, it is
pointless to package it.

Post 2.4 linux kernels do not allow raw access to PS/2 ports that
tpconfig requires, instead they provide faux /dev/psaux that pretends
that there is an IntelliMouse Explorer attached to it and happily ACK
any garbage userspace throws in it. As result tpconfig is convinced that
every single box out there is equipped with a Synaptics touchpad and
users happily file bugs in bugzilla.kernel.org insisting they have
Synaptics touchpad.

Please stop packaging tpconfig.
