Package: gsettings-desktop-schemas
Version: 3.20.0-3
Severity: important

upstream enabled natural scrolling for touchpads and mice in [1], later
revert this behavioural change for mice [2].
I think we should revert that change for touchpads as well.
Natural scrolling works fine on smartphones and tablets but less so on
touchpads. It puts additional strain on the finger when trying to read a
document and you want to scroll downwards but you now have to push
upwards.
Maybe we can convince upstream to revert this change, but even if not, I
think we should change back to the old behaviour.
