Description:
I think the package psmouse-elantech from AUR should be transfered to Extra. The reason for this is that without it an elantech laptop touchpad is not working. And to get it to work you have to build said package from AUR. It is really annoying to build a package from AUR without a working touchpad. So you either got a USB mouse ready or you have a bad time.
This can discourage first time users and heavily annoy long time users!

Steps to reproduce:
Install arch on a laptop with elantech touchpad.
Try to build this package from AUR without working touchpad.
