Public bug reported:

I've written a couple of lengthy posts on the debian-x/ubuntu-x
mailinglists* but here's a short summary:

- a backport of xorg.conf.d & inputclass support from xserver 1.8 packaged here:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~tjaalton/+archive/test/+packages
- this would allow us to not have an intermediate file format for input driver configuration on an LTS (udev rules)
- the change is not that huge though it sounds like it. the drivers would still use udev hotplug, just the source of configuration would be new
- since we want to be in sync with Debian, this would have to be agreed on by both parties. Their biggest (only?) blocker is now gone by including the video fallback patch from SUSE. 
- needed driver changes are small (shipping an xorg.conf.d snippet), and already done for the most part
- this could be shipped quickly
