Package: netdata-core
Version: 1.32.1-1
Severity: minor

netdata-core suggests hddtemp which is going to be removed from the
archive.

hddtemp is a software from another age that will not be shipped with
Debian Bookworm release [1]. However it could be easily replaced by the
drivetemp kernel module (available since kernel 5.6) which uses the same
hwmon interface as for NVME drives and other systems sensors and is
supported by lm-sensors. It does not require any privilege, as opposed
to hddtemp which runs as a daemon or a setuid binary.

netdata-core currently suggests hddtemp, however support for it has been
removed upstream in version 1.20.0 [2]. The only thing to do is
therefore to drop the hddtemp suggests. Note that suggests do not
affected installability, so there is no urgency in doing so, but it
should eventually be dropped.
