Simply put, whenever you build an app, linking it to up to date GTK+2, you break advanced input devices support. This, I think, is a good reason to be careful when packaging Inkscape.
As for GTK+3, it doesn't have that problem, which is why we shall probably not wait for GEGL integration to finish for 3.0. It really sucks to have advanced brush dynamics (and 2.8 is really awesome there) and not be able to use it to its full potential.
Speaking of which, linuxwacom folks have just released first version of libwacom.
"libwacom is a library to identify wacom tablets and their model-specific features. It provides easy access to information such as "is this a built-in on-screen tablet", "what is the size of this model", etc."
