Title:
  usbhid overrides usbtouchscreen in initramfs

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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).
