Bug Description
[ Availability ]
opal-prd has been in universe since xenial
[ Rationale ]
IBM is requesting opal-prd be installed by hw-detect on OpenPower systems to provide "acpid-like" functionality on OpenPower systems.
[ Security ]
I can find no CVEs relating to skiboot or opal-prd, which could mean it's perfect, but probably means it's just not been abused thoroughly by anyone yet. Given a root daemon is involved, it could probably use a quick once-over.
[ Quality ]
skiboot is maintained in Debian by Frederic Bonnard, an IBM employee, has 0 open bugs in Debian, and 0 open bugs in Ubuntu.
opal-prd installs a single daemon, asks no debconf questions, has systemd support, and comes configured correctly out of the box.
[ Dependencies ]
opal-prd has no dependencies outside main.
[ Maintenance ]
skiboot uses dh(1) style packaging, is lintian-clean, and the packaging is pretty clear and simple.

As discussed, this needs a security review.
Also, it's missing a bug subscriber.
