Title:
  Asking for a specific autopilot stack backend should either succeed or
  raise an exception

Status in Autopilot:
  Fix Released
Status in autopilot package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in autopilot source package in Raring:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Currently you can do this:

  >>> from autopilot.input import Keyboard
  >>> kbd = Keyboard.create("UInput")
  >>> type(kbd)
  autopilot.input._X11.Keyboard

  
  So here autopilot has silently decided that it cannot give us the backend variant we asked for, and has decided that giving us anything is better than raising an exception. 

  However, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

  Certainly creating a keyboard with:

  kbd = Keyboard.create()

  should return any keyboard. But if we ask for a specific type, we
  should either get that type, or fail.
