Bug#838050: gnome-shell: gdm doesn't start due to a problem with gnome-shell crashing in libwacom2

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.21.92-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After startup, gdm doesn't show up and just shows a grey screen. Looking at syslog reveals the reason:
syslog:Sep 16 23:27:25 matte kernel: [ 172.983123] gnome-shell[3206]: segfault
at 10 ip 00007f8e7c85d6c4 sp 00007ffd151d0a80 error 4 in libwacom.so.2.4.6[7f8e7
c85a000+9000]
Since I haven't updated libwacom2 in the last 2 weeks, but gnome-shell was recently updated, I assume this is due to a problem in gnome-shell.
There is also a temporary fix, just run: rmmod wacom, and then restart gdm, and you can use it again, of course without the touchscreen.
Unfortunately, in upstream, I cannot see any kind of commit between 3.21.92 and 3.21.91 that might cause such a problem.
