I reviewed the change timo posted at http://users.tkk.fi/~tjaalton/dpkg
/xserver-prop.diff

It's quite a bit of code to change this late in the release.  The
benefit it brings is to synchronize us with the released API.  Given
that there's only a few packages that are likely to need this interface,
the benefit seems not huge.  On the other hand, improved input device
configuration is a pretty important feature in this release so benefits
to those few packages may well be worth while.

Since this is a patch to the xserver, the risks theoretically include
potential for server crashes, yet these changes are localized to clients
using the input properties functions.  I think any crashes that would be
introduced would be pretty evident.

So, with the caveat that all this needs to receive special testing
attention since we have limited time left before release, I'll give my
+1 on uploading this.
