I mean that some headers needed to compile the synaptics driver are not included in xlibs-dev, while other headers (also needed to compile) are. In my previous mail I included a treeview of the headers needed to compile. As you can see there are some files packaged in xlibs-dev (I snipped the full list) and some not. I'd include in the deb source only the missing headers (as provided by mainstream), but still compile against what's available in xlibs-dev. > Also, what do you mean by "mainstream package"? the original tar.gz, sorry again > > Another option could be to create another xfree86-driver-dev to let > > external drivers compile.

In the meantime is my approach ok? thanks -- mattia :wq!
