I've already pushed the patch upstream - hence the Debian link at the top of this bug.

The original author has already looked at it and concluded that it doesn't work. It simply delays the contention lock, and doesn't fix it.

See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=437273#15

yes it is possible (and easier)
1) apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
2) wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8354070/patch
3) patch -p0 < patch
4) sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
5) cd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics*
6) sudo dpkg-buildpackage
7) cd ..
8) sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-input-synaptics*.deb

is it possible to push this patch upstream?
