It's not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. Sorry.
Seriously though, Ubuntu is NOT Debian, as you have just found out.
You could try and compile it yourself or get in touch with the Ubuntu
maintainer and suggest that he also package touchegg for Debian.
Whatever you do, don't use the excuse that because Ubuntu takes
from Debian they should give back by packaging packages available in
Ubuntu but not Debian. Well, OK ... you could hint in that direction. :)
