Libinput is enough for most people, although it does have some touchpad
sloppiness on some laptops that I only know how to fix with Synaptics. I don't
know if people are actually making use of it though...
It might be a better idea to drop the Synaptics patch and we can propose patches
to Libinput instead.

We are currently patching both mutter and gnome-control-center to reinstate
synaptics support, a change that was specifically rejected by upstream in
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/37>.
This seems to have been intended to be a temporary thing for Ubuntu 18.04.
Since then, we've had two stable releases of Debian and two LTS releases
of Ubuntu, and GNOME in Debian has switched to Wayland by default; so
it seems like it might be worth revisiting that decision. Do we still
need the synaptics X11 driver, or is libinput now enough?
