[Bug 1033227] [NEW] usbhid overrides usbtouchscreen in initramfs

[Forest Bond]

Public bug reported:

I'm on Precise.

The initramfs includes the usbhid module but not the usbtouchscreen
module.  There are some devices that are supported by both. In this case
the usbtouchscreen module should be given a chance to claim the device
and usbhid should be used as a fallback. But usbhid ends up winning
because it is in the initramfs and the usbtouchscreen module is not, so
the usbtouchscreen module never gets loaded. This breaks support for
some eGalax touch screens (it's a regression).
