i can confirm this on x86_64 - just reproduced it. 

i'm also for moving 7.3 out of testing. it will also add the 
new -intel driver finally to our repos. 7.3 breaks functionability of 
linuxwacom (pkg in community, drivers to wacom devices, i plan to put 
it to extra once it works with 7.3 (should be in 0.8.0)), otherwise 
from this i do not know any other problems that are not in bugs or 
already mentioned.

go for it!
