Actually I patched the debian package because Ubuntu 13.10/Mint 16 had old evdev/synaptics versions. If you are on Trusty, then you can patch the ubuntu packages instead (even though they appear to be identical). Repalce the git clone lines with
apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
and modify the mv lines accordingly (different folder names)
