It depends on what type of touchpad you have. I have (as do many others) one that uses the Synaptics driver. Google "linux synaptics touchpad driver" and you should come up with about 3 hits in the first 20 links that have tutorials on getting the driver to work. My guess would be this:
apt-get install synaptics
Then edit your xorg.conf to reflect those settings as shown in the many links found on Google (or xf86.conf, as it were).
If you watch your boot process and you do have a Synaptics pad, you will see a mention of this during kernel boot, though I don't think it is in dmesg. You will also want to make sure that the evdev module is compiled and installed, or compile it into the kernel.
Again, using Google there are oodles of instructions regarding this procedure. You may want to add Debian in the search string. That should tailor it fairly well to your setup.
