The relevant part was this, synclient -s was needed instead of regular
synclient. I would suggest adding a hint with respect to that to the
NEWS.Debian file.

rHmm, you seem don't have SHMConfig set to true. Did you try the regular
synclient commands mentioned in the NEWS.Debian file, and/or can you try
to do it with the additional option -s too?
