* Availability

In sync with Debian, built on all architectures
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usbguard/0.7.4+ds-1

* Rationale

We want to increase the security of USB devices, GNOME is working on this feature for next cycle and relying on the usbguard
https://wiki.gnome.org/Internships/2018/Projects/USB-Protection

The binaries we want to promote are usbguard and libusbguard0.

* Security

No known security issues, but due to the nature of this package, a security review is probably needed.

* Quality assurance

Need to define who owns the service

The package build does 'make check' on the basic upstream tests, there is an upstream --enable-full-test-suite but some of those tests can't work in a buildd environment.

There is no autopkgtest

* Dependencies

No universe binary dependencies

* Standards compliance

current 4.2 standards-version, debhelper compat 11, dh 7 style simple rules

* Maintenance

Upstream is active, the package is maintained in Debian and in sync for Ubuntu
