Bug#559233: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: Tap and Scrolling disabled by default on touchpad (and missing documentation to enable it)

If you think about users not knowing what a command line is, then
not having tap looks like the much better default. Putting multiple
functions into the same interface (i.e. moving around the mouse and
doing clicks) is extremly unfriendly to no so versed people.
(That's why I think disabling tap by default is a very good thing.
This way non-powerusers are not confused why something is suddenly
happening when they try to move the mouse while power users can still
change some setting).
