The ksynaptics package in unstable (and soon testing) does indeed depend on 
the libsynaptics package:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/kde/ksynaptics

You should be able to find the debian packages of libsynaptics here:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libsynaptics0

But apt should automaticall pull this in when you install ksynaptics:
# apt-get install ksynaptics
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libsynaptics0
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  ksynaptics libsynaptics0
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 274kB of archives.
After unpacking 1262kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

Which version of debian are you running?  

Stable?
