good news, it looks like it has been reimplemented upstream already:
commit f04b27861983212bb6b216c589aa7b0b24256f63
Author: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

Use axis ranges reported by the hardware, if possible.
The evdev kernel module provides the ability to query the axis ranges from
the device. If they are given, use those as defaults instead of the hardcoded
ones. User-specified ranges overrule any ranges reported.

the experimental package is ready. I'm editing the current unstable
package to add the appletouch bits to the fdi file and was wondering if
we should use the upstream file or the one suggested by Timo which
additionally sets
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizEdgeScroll" type="string">0</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">0</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge>
The additional settings make sense for mac users (afaict... no apples
here).
Other than that also the unstable package is ready.
I have no time to upload it tonight though, I'll try to do it tomorrow.
