I am not sure about what I should do to implement the following dmesg "suggestion"
[ 4.005445] psmouse serio1: synaptics: The touchpad can support a better
bus than the too old PS/2 protocol. Make sure MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS and
RMI4_SMB are enabled to get a better touchpad experience.
How to proceed to enable the two options?
I am on Debian Stretch (the machine is an X1 Carbon 5th generation [yes, the one with the touchpad issue]).

Those are kernel build options.
The simplest option (but the one which involves waiting the longest) is to file a bug against the Debian Linux kernel package, asking for those options to be enabled:
reportbug linux-image-$(uname -r)
(Please do this anyway, to ensure the options are enabled eventually for all Debian users.)
You can also build your own kernel, with the appropriate configuration changes; see the instructions in the Debian kernel handbook. Once you’re running make nconfig, you’ll find the relevant configuration settings under Device Drivers, Input device support, then:
- Mice, PS/2 mouse, Synaptics PS/2 SMbus companion (for
MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS_SMBUS); - Synaptics RMI4 bus support, RMI4 SMB Support (for
RMI4_SMB).
