This could be an issues with sensor amplitudes in the MB 5,2. To find
out, please turn on bcm5974 debugging with

echo 9 | sudo tee /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug

and follow the printouts with

tail -f /var/log/debug

What is of interest is to find out how the pressure parameter (p) varies
with different finger actions. Posting a portion of the log file here
would help.

When done, turn off debugging with

echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

When using ubuntu on a MacBook (rev. 5,2) the touchpad is very hard to use. To move the mouse pointer at all, one has to press down very hard on the touchpad.
