RAINBOF: Kvůli tomu snad není potřeba rebuildit balík, máš tam možnost lokální konfigurace/override, řekl bych.
Sometimes it's necessary to install a temporary local quirk until upstream libinput is updated or the distribution updates its package. For this, the /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks file is read in as well (if it exists). Note though that the config files are considered internal API, so any local overrides may stop working on the next libinput update. Should've upstreamed that quirk, eh?
