My .02 Euro: Try "xfree86-driver-$module". I wouldn't go as far as using something like "synaptic-touchpad" or "synaptic-touchpad-driver", the usual nomenclature for these things might indicate that this package would contain something like a bi- nary kernel driver. -- 'Have you lost your senses?'

I had to retrofit my runlevels with the LSB-proposed run level usage. *: Are there any plans to migrate to LSB runlevels? Should be fairly easy to accomplish by a small adjustion to the rulefiles..
