(I am assuming that you run Etch, based on your versions of the wacom
packages.)
I think you can use apt-get and module assistant to make sure you have
all the build dependencies (dev packages) for the wacom packages:
apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-wacom wacom-tools
module-assistant prepare
Then you can try to build the newer kernel module, xorg driver and
userspace tools, either from the upstream sources (with checkinstall) or
by backporting [1] the Sid packages yourself. I have no idea how well
that works for the wacom stuff, though.
