[Bug 490550] [NEW] tpconfig utility should not be packaged for distributions based on 2.6 kernels

[Dmitry Torokhov]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tpconfig

Kernels starting with 2.5 onward do not allow applications access PS/2
ports directly (unless serio_raw module is used and ports are manually
rebound via sysfs) and thus this utility can not work properly. Any
information displayed by the utiluty is based on cooked data provided by
the kernel and has no relation to the reality.

Many users attempt to use tpconfig to either adjust their touchpad
parameters or prove that they have Synaptics touchpad and thus Synaptics
X driver should work for them. To reduce confusion this utility should
not be pckaged fro distributions that are based on 2.6 kernels.

** Affects: tpconfig (Ubuntu)
