You can of course still configure synaptics manually. That will continue
to work.

With GNOME 3.20 support for non-libinput configurations has been dropped
from gnome-control-center. So if you want to configure your touchpad
(and mouse) settings, you'll need xserver-xorg-input-libinput [1].

Unfortunately the synaptics package in Debian was changed to have a
higher priority then libinput [2]. So if you have
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed you can't configure your touchpad
in gnome-control-center atm.

This situation is unfortunate, but we are aware of it and hope to figure
something out for stretch.

Michael
