Thanks, that explains a lot. It's still a rough edge which needs work. This package is installed by default, so it could bother anybody: xorg/xserver-xorg/xserver-xorg-input-all/xserver-xorg-input-joystick ... so a new user plugging a joystick or controller into a computer is a recipe for a lost user. What do we do about it? We could disable this module by default, and have it pop up the manpage in a terminal window if a joystick is plugged in while X is running.
Whatever we do, we don't want X to automatically initialize a joystick as a pointing device and start workspace warping with no explanation given, because that's... just messy. We could write a better description for the package while we're here: "This packages provides the driver for joysticks and gamepads as pointing devices on an X11 desktop."
