I am not sure if xserver-xorg-input-wacom is installed only if a tablet is recognized and in that case it's just a matter of wrong dependencies, or if it's installed by default but unused in case of no tablet detected, in that case wacom-tools installation could be inappropriate.

However, I guess that installing the "xserver-xorg-input-wacom" without installing wacom-tools is of no use, so that the missing dependency should be added in any case. I expected a comment from the developers to clarify the situation, too. Could perhaps wacom tools, for example, break other serial hardware or do they setserial only when a tablet is properly detected?
