xserver-xorg-input-libinput should already be pulled in by this dep chain:

   task-xfce-desktop
-> task-desktop
-> xserver-xorg-input-all
-> xserver-xorg-input-libinput

As such, it is unclear anything needs changing in tasksel.


@karthik: Can you confirm that xserver-xorg-input-libinput was installed
          out-of-the-box ?  If so, the bug probably lies with that package.


Best,
