FWIW, this was deliberate, to avoid having to either keep a shared
allocation space for touch IDs, or to have differing touch IDs between
MD and SD delivery.  The idea was that the client should maintain a
sourceid:touchid tuple, rather than deviceid:touchid.

I'm completely ambivalent on this change though, I don't think it
makes any odds really.

Cheers,
