How is that supposed to work? AFAIK on some devices the
touchscreen is not attached in the same orientation as
the internal screen (IIRC I already saw an inverted one).

So let's assume a testcase:

 * screen is _not_ inverted/rotated/scaled/... (= default)
 * touchscreen is using default values and thus is inverted

Thus the touchscreen input is broken out of the box. How
can you calibrate this without getting any user input?
How do you know, that the initial touchscreen input is
inverted/rotated/scaled/...?

Yeah, but that does not help for the initial calibration of
the touchscreen. It obviously is a nice way to keep the
touchscreen working when xrandr is used.
