installing wacom tablet

I just bought and installed Wacom Bamboo A6 tablet in Arch Linux.
I tried to follow the wiki, but failed.
Then I started to search on google and here, on forum, after some time I was able to run it.
However, this is not simple, not user friendly and definitely not for beginner.
There are 3 packages in AUR: linuxwacom, linuxwacom-dev and linuxwacom-cvs. Only last one is good
But even this one is not perfect, you have to install kernel26 (again!) after installing linuxwacom-cvs to overwrite the wacom kernel module.
I copied the data from wiki to xorg.conf, but then changed it from Relative to Absolute, works much better.

Is it possible to fix these 3 packages in AUR and create a good one? Who should I speak with about it?
