Should, or must? What happens if I pass a NULL or invalid event in?

+  void Add(scoped_ptr<InputEvent> event);
+
+  bool empty() const { return events.empty(); }
+  size_t size() const { return events.size(); }
+  InputEvents::const_iterator begin() const { return events.begin(); }

It seems like these accessors exist to hide the exact implementation (i.e., the
fact that |events| is a vector), but |events| is public. So this interface is
"partially encapsulated", if you will. I would decide to either make |events|
and |id| private (and provide accessors for |id|), or make them public and not
have these wrapper functions.

Less for hiding and more for convenience, really.  The members are public only
for automated serialization via macros, but I think stricter enforcement here is
worth the custom serialization code.

+  InputEvents::const_iterator end() const { return events.end(); }
+
+  int64 id;
+  InputEvents events;
+
+ private:
+  DISALLOW_COPY_AND_ASSIGN(EventPacket);
+};
+
+}  // namespace content
