I'm curious if this is being worked on for the next LTS?

Title:
  Backport newer Wacom tablet support

Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  In Gnome 3.10 and upwards the Wacom plugin in Gnome Control Center has
  several improvements over previous versions. Button mapping has an on
  screen display that helps you map the tablet buttons with a
  representation of the tablet, and for Intuos 4 Wacom tablets that have
  the little OLED displays, when the buttons are mapped the shortcut is
  displayed on the tablet's OLED display.

  Until Gnome 3.10 the only way to set the OLED displays at the same
  time as button mapping was to compile 3rd party code and edit some
  scripts, which is not ideal for the average Ubuntu user.

  As Ubuntu 14.04 is the LTS version, it might be a good idea to
  backport this feature to Ubuntu's patched gnome-shell-daemon and
  control centre as it might be the last opportunity to provide this in
  the Unity desktop until/if this appears in Unity 8.
