Package: ekeyd
Version: 1.1.5-6.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

The ekeyd package is one of the packages in the Debian archive that
should be installed when a given hardware dongle is inserted or
available.  Thanks to the appstream system, thus can now be announced in
a way other tools can use and act on.  I've written the isenkram system
to ask the current user if hardware specific packages should be
installed when a new dongle is installed, and isenkram now uses
appstream as one source for hardware to package mappings.

You can read more about this on my blog,

 >.

It would be great if you could add an appstream metainfo file to the
ekeyd package, with content similar to this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <component>
   [...]
   <provides>
      <modalias>usb:v20DFp0001d*</modalias>
    </provides>
  </component>

If there are other USB ids also supposed by the package, please add
those too. :)
