Subject: 2.6.36/2.6.37: broken compatibility with userspace input-utils ?

As of the 2.6.36 kernel, the userspace commands lsinput and input-kbd
no longer work.  And if I grab newer/patched versions of those from the latest
Ubuntu 10.10, then those newer/patched versions do not work with kernels
*before* 2.6.36.

At first glance, this looks like a visible regression.
Is there a version of input-utils that works with both
old and new kernels ?

Thanks
