As the author of the current Uemis support I have talked to Jef about this in the past. Because of the weird way the Uemis works, it would be a real pain to integrate this into the current libdivecomputer architecture. Jef is working on a rewrite that will change things around and should make it much easier to support the Uemis - at that point I'll submit patches to libdivecomputer and disable the code in Subsurface :-)
