Timo,

Any chance we could patch this for bionic only? No need to wait for libinput release 1.10. Just take the fixes that are in the master branch already and backport.

That would avoid clashing with James using Debian. Actually in general I think many more people will need the fix than the status quo. It would be very bad if the LTS went out without this fixed. A dramatic step backwards for lots of people. And many of them won't know it's coming until they do their LTS upgrade.

In my mind this libinput fix is more important than just about everything else graphical and interactive because without it, the desktop is just too frustrating to use. And worse, the primary workaround for this bug is to revert to Xorg+synaptics, so we also lose the dream of being able to stay in Wayland.
