I verified its that easy. I renamed to 40-wacom.conf and on my Bamboo Pen&Touch, the tablet part is grabbed by xf86-input-wacom and the touchpad part is grabbed by xf86-input-synaptics. Note I have the linuxwacom (out-of-tree) driver installed which makes my Bamboo talk like the in-tree wacom Tablet PC logic. And in this case, I get no responses from the Bamboo touchpad and xf86-input-synaptics combo. I mention this because udev is reporting Tablet PC as a touchpad. So if we change to allow remapping Bamboo's to xf86-input-synaptics then we either need to update Tablet PC logic to be synaptics-like in kernel or we need an exception to allow older Tablet PC to continue to be handled by xf86-input-wacom.
