Since the udeb is installable, sure. Regarding the gudev thing, I had
local patches a while back and that worked back around August 2017
(DebConf), with trivial udeb additions in two packages. I'm happy to
have the wacom thing skipped instead if X maintainers are happy with
that change. :)

Thanks for driving this, much appreciated.
