It seems leafpad is obsolete and not maintained any longer (It is only
available in Debian Stretch).
If you could try something else, I would try mousepad (which actually
is a fork of leafpad).
https://packages.debian.org/mousepad
https://docs.xfce.org/apps/mousepad/start
If you would be ready to try something new and are not afraid of
massive amount of settings (and thereby possibilities) but still
GTK-based, I would try SciTE.
https://packages.debian.org/scite
(Yes, I am biased regarding SciTE, since I'm one of the Debian package
maintainers).
