due to dependency. I have synaptic configured for two finger
scrolling, but it is not that superb like mac touchpad :-(

I tried to install touchegg_1.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb and I get
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of touchegg:
touchegg depends on libutouch-geis1 (>= 2.0.1); however:
Package libutouch-geis1 is not installed.
and
apt-get install -f
simply uninstall touchegg :-(

It's not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. Sorry.

Seriously though, Ubuntu is NOT Debian, as you have just found out.
You could try and compile it yourself or get in touch with the Ubuntu
maintainer and suggest that he also package touchegg for Debian.
Whatever you do, don't use the excuse that because Ubuntu takes
from Debian they should give back by packaging packages available in
Ubuntu but not Debian. Well, OK ... you could hint in that direction. :)

Does apt-get give you a resolver prompt? That is, you type "apt-get

install -f" and it says "I would like to remove touchegg. Is this OK?"
(well, words to that effect). Try saying "N" at that point and see if
apt-get will present a different alternative.
Removing 1 package is probably the simplest solution, so apt-get is
presenting that as it's first choice of action. However, if you say no,
it may find that another way to fix the brokenness is, say, to add 2
packages and downgrade a third.
Keep saying No until you find a solution that you approve of or apt-get
runs out of options.

You would need to install the library also from Ubuntu.

AFAIKT 'touchegg' is not in Debian so it can not resolve the
dependancy issues. It still might not work, could be other depends
also.
