I am thinking of changing from Linux Mint Cinnamon to Linux Mint Debian Cinnamon, but Synapse launcher is something I can't work without. It doesn't seem to be available in Debian.

Does anyone know if it is possible to install it and use all the features it offers?

Yes, go here and if in North America click one of the links if in another country click the closest link. https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/synapse/download

It is available in Debian unstable here, so should be available in Linux Mint eventually, if it is not already.

apt-cache policy synapse
synapse:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.2.99.1-1
  Version table:
     0.2.99.1-1 0
         50 tor+http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages

If it not currently available in Linux Mint Debian Edition, it should be easy to backport if you want to do so.

The build dependencies are:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9),
intltool,
pkg-config,
valac,
libzeitgeist-2.0-dev,
libdbus-glib-1-dev,
libgtk-3-dev,
libgee-0.8-dev,
libjson-glib-dev,
libkeybinder-3.0-dev,
libnotify-dev

which are satisfied even on jessie. I was able to build and run it on jessie with no trouble.
