Comment 33 for bug 770082

It is true a number of users reported using DoctorMO's ( Martin Owens) PPA: https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/wacom-plus and then ending up with a non-functional tablet due to a missing 10-wacom.conf.

I assumed that a update of the PPA shortly after the hypothetical problem update had incorporated the "packaging error". I reasoned it couldn't be the PPA responsible for the missing configuration file because the majority of users reported only having installed vanilla Lucid plus official updates. I recall looking at the PPA at the time and not spotting a problem there either.

And yes, it has been a long, long time since I installed the default Lucid xf86-input-wacom-0.10.5. It is just so early in xf86-input-wacom development. And as you know the 0.10.x tree was for code reorganization and not really intended for users. The 0.11.x tree was originally the series intended for widespread user use/testing.
