HAL, and hal-info in particular, are probably the place to look to do
this. It's essentially a rule engine that can be used to match
hardware to rules.  I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I think
you should take a look. One of the lead maintainers works for SuSE and
has a soft spot for tabletPCs. His website at

I too have had problems with what I will call the "Bug Assassination
Squad" drive-by closing valid bugs. I don't know what can be done
about it except maybe document it when it happens. You can use
Launchpad to do an advanced search from it and look for closed bugs of
yours.
