Please do not ship with Synaptics touchpad drivers by default

Hello distro folks!
This email is a heads-up that we've completed the removal of Plasma's
configuration GUI for the old Synaptics touchpad drivers:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1509
If you are still shipping these old and unmaintained drivers by default,
please stop doing it for Plasma 6 and switch to Libinput instead, or
else users will have no way to configure their touchpads.
I would even go so far as to recommend no longer packaging these drivers
at all, to prevent the possibility of users ending up in a bad state.
Thanks as always for the packaging work!
Nate
