Given that your installation was a complete success, I do as
usual with reports for successful installations: I close the bug..:-)

This does not of course mean you weren't right to report. Knowing the
installations are correct is important for the d-i team.

Many thanks for your time testing the Debian Installer and reporting
your results. Have fun with your new Debian system!

I skipped some words while reading, sorry about that. Scrolling works
by default. Tapping has indeed to be enabled explicitly. Either in
xorg.conf, or in some xorg.conf.d/42-i-want-tapping.conf, or in ones
favourite settings manager. T.F., if you don't like the default, talk
to upstream, we don't deviate from their defaults.

It does work for me by default. How did you install X? Did you only
install xserver-xorg-input-evdev?

(General answer, report a bug: reportbug xorg)

Wild guess, your intel card is pretty badly supported, so vesa was
picked instead. You may want to try fbdev. We (upstream and XSF)
weren't able to do anything better.

Comments/Problems:

Installing the base system went very well, but it is very confusing
setting up encrypted partitions. The wording is unclear, and it is
hard to understand which action choice goes forward, and which back.

I had two problems installing Xorg:

1. The synaptics touchpad does not respond to tapping or scrolling by 
default, which is an odd choice. I was able to get it working after 
reading instructions at wiki.debian.org.

2. My screen has a physical dimension of 1280x800, but X starts at 
1024x768, which is wrong and looks bad. Despite extensive research via 
Google and wiki.debian.org, I have been unable to determine either the 
cause or the solution.

If I was not dedicated to Debian on principle, this would make me
go away.
