Bug Description

I'm using ubuntu lucid on a macbook pro 5,5 model, and am bewildered as to why the dkms touchpad driver that we were encouraged to use on the setup page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Karmic#Touchpad (bcm5974)
has not been included in the main repositories. I don't care if it is classed as 'experimental', I have been using it for 3 months now without any issue, and the driver that comes out of the box is absolutely horrifically bad by comparison. Please can we include this module by default instead, and solve our collective headaches?
