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?
