Herd 5 now:
  same problem on initial install.  While researching another problem (#89289), 
I was prompted to run 'dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'  This re-created 
the xorg.conf file, and did indeed detect the synaptic touchpad.
The vertical scroll area and the double-tap-and-drag selection technique now 
works!

Here's the area of xorg.conf as built by dpkg-reconfigure:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "0"
EndSection
