You can try some tricks, like adding
quiet splash i8042.notimeout atkbd.reset
to /etc/default/grub (line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=)
and then run
sudo update-grup and reboot
Or run
gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true
if your touchpad is simply hardware-disabled.
As for me, nothing mentioned above worked. I use a workaround, that unplugs and plugs in the touchpad again, here what it looks like
#!/bin/bash
rmmod psmouse
modprobe psmouse
This worked, but... It turned out that debian does not use pm-suspend when it suspends =(
To suspend and awake with touchpad working I had to sudo pm-suspend manually, so annoying. And again, when debian suspends from low battery or lid closed, it suspends without pm-suspend, so I had to run my annoying script.
Arghh!..
Debian uses systemd to manage power, so should I. By the way, when duckduckgoing word "systemd" a lot of controversial and critical posts come up about it being too complex and handling too much responsibility, try it!
systemd provides it's own environment to create hooks, so I created one that finally worked!

then, enable the service by

sudo systemctl start touchpad_awakening.service
check the result
sudo systemctl status touchpad_awakening.service
it reads:

I was forced to call this after every awakening, and this was very annoying. I thought about automating all this. Most articles I read tried to use pm-suspend and some custom hooks for it:
sudo vim /etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad
1 cat /etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad 2 #!/bin/sh 3 case "$1" in 4 suspend|hibernate) 5 modprobe -r psmouse ;; 6 resume|thaw) 7 modprobe psmouse ;; 8 esac
This worked, but... It turned out that debian does not use pm-suspend when it suspends =(

After suspend it worked okay.
At last!
