DEVD doesn't seem to support devices provided by multimedia/webcamd.
For one, xf86-input-wacom uses HAL to simplify configuration of
multi-interface tablets: more than one /dev/input/eventN that may
change order during reboot or replug.

At least ports/183478 implementation could be extended with
etc/devd/*.conf if there're out-of-tree kernel or cuse(3) drivers.
