If a device isn't handled properly by the evdev-driver, should start
filing bugs against xserver-xorg-input-evdev for not providing a driver
specific HAL fdi-file, or do these have to be filed against another
package (xorg?)?

If we want to forward the bugs upstream, do we do this on xorg (wherever
it might be), evdev or linuxwacom bug tracker?
