I hope to be able to clarify the situation here. The problem initially reported 
with this bug is the fact that tablet devices did show up as non-functional 
joysticks and this has been fixed by blacklisting devices that report to have a 
BTN_DIGI. Basically the first button a device gets assigned classifies the 
function of it.
This was all well as long as joysticks had the limited number of buttons the 
developers anticipated. But with joysticks that have more than that, this does 
not work and those incorrectly get assigned buttons that classify other devices 
(like BTN_GAMEPAD and BTN_DIGI). But this is a different problem which also has 
been reported http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492056 and I would continue with 
that issue over there.
Tablets should work (again), starting with Karmic and so this bug is considered 
to be closed.
