Bug#1000576: xserver-xorg-input-all: Please include other input drivers in dependencies
Package: xserver-xorg-input-all
Version: 1:7.7+23
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
X-Debbugs-Cc: tiposchi@tiscali.it
Dear Maintainer,
because of libinput not behaving properly with my trackpoint, and the maintainer
refusing to add the necessary configuration options to make it behave like I
think it should behave, I never use the libinput driver and just remove it in
favour of synaptics.
However since xserver-xorg-input-all depends only on the libinput driver, what
happens is that the entire desktop task gets uninstalled when doing this operation,
which means that a lot of stuff that is completely unrelated and that I need
gets removed as well.
Please consider adding "| xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" in the dependency field,
so that my desktop environment doesn't get removed when I try to use the input
driver that works better for me.
Best
