Please create a bug report and explain why libwacom is an "unnecessary dependency" instead of creating a duplicate package with potentially broken functionality.
"The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications already in any of the official binary repositories under any circumstances. Check the official package database for the package. If any version of it exists, do not submit the package. If the official package is out-of- date, flag it as such. If the official package is broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug report."

No. This is not a duplicate and not a bug. Altered packages (patched or different build options) are allowed in AUR. The functionality is not broken. Dependencies are turned off by meson options provided by original source. So this is perfectly legit way to build it.
