Closing as WONTFIX, mostly because I don't think it's worth the effort.

Wacom still provides the puck/lens cursor as additional device, but they aren't
shipped by default anymore with the tablets. Touch is available on most (all?)
modern tablets now and it's a useful alternative to the relative mouse input
that the puck provided. And extra keys are available on all tablets (with the
EKR on the cintiqs).

So over time we'll probably see use of the puck diminish and potentially
disappear. We still need to support the devices (as we currently do), but
specialised features like this one can be omitted. Current users are well
served by the wacom X org driver which is still under development, so there's
not the same need to be feature equivalent as with synaptics/evdev.

If you disagree with this assessment, feel free to re-open the bug. But note
that reopening the bug doesn't mean the code will actually be written, because
ETIME.

side-note: this requires a kernel driver that does *not* do touch arbitration
