Comment 34 for bug 1417608

Package makes sense in main as a dependency of lsvpd, and as a component of hardware support in its own right. Meets the MIR requirements. There is no upstream test suite. The package ships three daemons for hardware support , which will be enabled by default when installing the package - but probably should not be (or should not be pulled in automatically as a dependency) on systems without the relevant hardware.
