here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wacom-tools/+bug/42553 it was commented that new version of the drivers will support autodetection. That bug should have been opened contextually to dropping wacom support in xorg.conf and marked priority high in my opinion so that developers would have taken a decision on time for gutsy. Introducing a regression on purpose and not making a note in some developers TODO list does not give a good impression to me. This might happen to every piece of software I use so I can't rely on my past experience to know what will work and what not. However I realize that nobody in the developers community really cared about that precise issue until I complained, so this may indicate that there are not so great expectations for ubuntu to support tablets. The user base is small hence a specific addon could be as well provided separately or in a variant of ubuntu such as tabuntu (before the invention of ubuntu variants that'd have been a fork... this is lovely by ubuntu, to embrace alternatives instead of rejecting those).
