I think that this will currently break wacom. Wacom is set up to provide
one input device per input mechanism - so typically we may have pen,
stylus and eraser. The driver insists on each of these being declared as
separate instances, so in hal we have a callout for wacoms that
generates extra devices in the hal namespace. Each of these devices then
corresponds to one of the input mechanisms. For this to work in a udev
world, we either need to have a mechanism for a single udev event to
generate (or remove) multiple input devices or alternatively to fix up
wacom so it can be told to create multiple X input devices in a single
instance.
