Go look at them. 2.6.16 is the latest the one in the Debian repository
supports. I took the time, looked and actually went through them and
found the problems, fixed the postinst script, went through the
buildlog. Found that "/usr/src/modules/wacom/src/2.6.[17|18|19|20] were
all missing.
is a quick listing of the directories in the wacom-kernel-source, which
isn't a "real" kernel-source as I've come to know it, it is actually a
"kpkg" building of the modules.

Do you see anything missing?
The latest version in the /usr/src/modules/wacom/src/2.6.* tree is
v1.44.
Looked at the actual source in the 2.6.18-12 Linux Kernel source
in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18/drivers/usb/input.
v1.45 is the version in 2.6.18
Looked at the actual source in the 2.6.20-2 Linux Kernel source
in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20/drivers/usb/input.
v1.46 is the version in 2.6.20
So, it looks like it has either been accepted into the mainline kernel,
or it has been patched into the Debian source. Either way,
wacom-kernel-source is obsoleted or deprecated.
