I've gone through all the relevant upstream commits, and here are my
conclusions:

1) The upstream code covers the use case of Wacom tablets with built-in
displays (which, although useful, is not the use case discussed in this
bug report). It would be way too much code to backport, especially for
an SRU.

2) The upstream code covers the use case mentioned in the original
description of this bug report, but I think backporting the new
GsdDeviceMapper (a tool to couple input devices with displays) to unity-
settings-daemon would be an overkill, just for this single use case.
This said, introducing the GsdDeviceMapper is something definitely worth
exploring, as a long term plan.

3) I can provide a fix for the use case in the original description with
a much smaller amount of code. For this reason I'm going to complete and
integrate my current prototype with the unity-settings-daemon. The
result will be effective and good for an SRU.
