I saw that xinput package wasn't installed, this means that tasksel does not
install it for Desktop Enviroment during Debian installation.
After installing it and rebooting the system, nothing changes, tapping is
still not working.
kcm-touchpad is a KDE control module which uses xinput to configure
synaptics based touchpads, it is working well in Kubuntu and OpenSuse.

Sorry but,by the moment I can't use xinput from command line, I am a bit
clumsy.
