Hi Chase,

First of all, thanks a lot for putting together a DKMS package. It
definitely makes it much easier to test multitouch drivers without
having to rebuild the kernel every time.

I have noticed that my Stantum touchscreen doesn't work in Lucid and,
as Stéphane Chatty explained to me, this is because we're missing a
patch for hid.h (the hid.h in your package is fine though). For this
reason I made your package build the hid-stantum module against the
fixed hid.h and also I had to bump the version of the driver to 0.6.1
otherwise DKMS would complain with the following error:

Error! Module version 0.6 for hid-stantum.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.32-22-generic (0.6).
You may override by specifying --force.

Please apply the attached debdiff (which I can confirm to fix the
issue) to your package.

Thanks,
