Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-2
Followup-For: Bug #461760
I can confirm this bug. It seems this does not break all touchpads but at least
some.
I have a ALPS touchpad in a Toshiba Satellit 2100 Pro and after uprade it
breaks the
touchpad completely. Downgrade to the current lenny version 0.14.6-1 fixes this
issue.
Here are the refering fragments of Xorg.0.log with a working touchpad (lennys
package):

Your assumption was true... if xorg complains about the synaptics module
it works (another driver taking its part?) and if the synaptics module
recognizes the touchpad it does not work. Right now I realised those
touchpad specific options (scrolling at the edges etc.) do not work anymore
either (with lennys package) what makes sense to me. But I am almost 100%
sure it worked completely.
This are the touchpad related things in xorg.conf:
