Although the current package has a similar patch already applied, it is broken (at least on my machine: HP TC4200 Tablet PC). When rotating the screen, the "eraser" device loses its calibration. The upstream patch works fine.
I've taken out the previous (non-working) patch and put in the upstream patch (that works) as downloaded from http://xournal.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom-0.7.0-rotate-patch. Unfortunately, since the patches are combined in one monolithic patch, it took some work to get it together, but I've built the package and it's working fine on my system right now. I've attached the files I've used. Although I would prefer to update the linuxwacom tools to the latest version (0.7.6-4), I'm not experienced enough with debian packages to do so (this is my first time building a debian package). So, please at least update this package to include the better rotation patch.
