Actually I can't see the reason for installing xserver-xorg package. I'm pretty
sure it brings xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed:

tiago at thinkpad:~$ apt-cache show xserver-xorg |grep ^Depends Depends:
xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.5.99.901), xserver-xorg-input-evdev,

xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-input-tslib xserver-xorg-core
xserver-xorg xterm xinit xfonts-base x11-xserver-utils"
^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note the repeated packages above. We need to avoid xserver-xorg and add only
the xserver-xorg-* packages which are necessary for fso. I'm not able to list
them myself.
