Hypothesis verified using "xinput list":
p...@debian-gta02:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    id=2  [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer          id=4  [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ s3c2410 TouchScreen                 id=6  [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ "s3c2410 TouchScreen"               id=8  [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   id=3  [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard         id=5  [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ "PCF50633 PMU events"               id=7  [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ "Neo1973 Buttons"                   id=9  [slave  keyboard (3)]

See the two "TouchScreen"?
Double quoted devices are those originating from udev.

I've asked #debian-x and the answer is that this behavior *is* normal
and there is currently no way to set options via xorg.conf to an
InputDevice originating from udev. More will be possible with Xorg
1.8[1]. Meanwhile, any option to such an input device should be set
using "xinput set-prop".

To sum it up:
* xserver-xorg-input-tslib misses a udev rules file to supersede evdev
for the touchscreens it can handle;
* don't set any InputDevice section in xorg.conf for input devices
already detected by udev, or you'll end up with multiple input devices
competing.

Thanks,
