Bug#570256: Please include the patch in the package

[Tony Houghton]

Upstream thinks they have fixed this in their bug 635486. However, the
issue isn't really resolved, for reasons described in
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663119>:- trying to
override this setting with a custom hotplug-command script means that
you either have to give up all the other touchpad settings that GNOME
usually controls for you, or rely on a race condition. And using the
GNOME config tool will still overwrite the script AFAICT.

Another possibility is writing an alternative touchpad settings daemon
and front-end, but one would have to use the hotplug-command to stop
gnome-settings-daemon from conflicting with it. Then what if a user
wanted to use hotplug-command for some other peripheral? So a simple
script isn't really enough; some sort of standardised framework would
need to be provided.

There are many other upstream bugs about the original problem which
have been ignored instead of being merged with the ones mentioned here.
IMO upstream is a lost cause on this issue.
