Why do you doubt it make sense?? As for a limited amount of packages, it seem to me like the number of hardware related packages in Debian is rather small. There are 210 packages with files in /lib/udev/rules.d/, and four with files in /lib/firmware/, which both are good indicators to identify hardware related packages. We do not need to modify the entire archive for this to work, just a few hundred packages. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
