Hi,
after doing "apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evtouch", I get the
following output:
apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evtouch

Picking 'xf86-input-evtouch' as source package instead of
'xserver-xorg-input-evtouch'

It seems that the version of evtouch source is the same as the one
that is already installed.
Any other suggestions?
