Public bug reported:

Wiimote as a controller in Ardour is broken because Ubuntu (and probably
debian) have other newer ways of dealing with a wiimote controller (it
ends up in /dev/input/). The wiimote  code is considered no longer used
by the Ardour developers and so Ardour should be compiled for Ubuntu
with Wiimote turned off. (Ardour ships from ardour.org with Wiimote
support turned off)
