For what it's worth, while it is not a hard runtime dependency (nor even
listed as a soft dependency in the package) because libinput is also
supported, the kcm_touchpad in plasma-desktop is much more functional with
the synaptics driver (and this is not likely to change any time soon, given
that libinput just removed most of the settings). So this change will also
affect some Plasma users, though not necessarily in a bad way (as the intent
is to make it easier to install the driver when wanted).
plasma-desktop also requires xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-devel (in particular,
the <xorg/synaptics-properties.h> header, for constant definitions) at build
time, is that package name going to change?
I was planning to leave the -devel package name as-is, I don't think
renaming it provides any benefit.
Cheers,
