Affects me on 16.04, as well.
After a fresh install of ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64, my first action was
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-aiptek
This would refuse install justified with dependency problems stated in bug report.
sudo apt-get install aptitude
and then
sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-input-aiptek
would send me on a hilarious journey of removing ubuntu-desktop and other basic stuff, where I either end up with a graphical session but no inpu drivers, no graphical session at all or -when trying to install basic graphical AND input packages- have the graphical session back, but no aiptek drivers.
On Xubuntu (Ubuntu Studio 14.04) install of aiptek drivers works flawless.
