Bug Description

libevdev is a wrapper library for evdev devices. It moves the common tasks when dealing with evdev devices into a library and provides a library interface to the callers, thus avoiding erroneous ioctls, etc.

Notes: libevdev is required for building recent versions of Clutter with Wayland support. It would be helpful to have it available in Ubuntu.

I'll package this via Debian (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=722631), and probably wait for 0.4 to be released since that will have a stable API.
