I'm considering orphaning lomoco.
I do not use it anymore, there's zero upstream support (no release in
several years), so I really don't feel like spending time on this
package. I had kept it around as long as it didn't bother me too much.
I'm also relatively tired of trying to follow the ever changing udev
mess, so all in all this package is clearly becoming a burden to me.
Finally I'm glad to see there's as much communication and exchange as
ever between Ubuntu and Debian, since at no point was I ever contacted
or even informed about the issue and the resolution that they've come
up with.
It seems like this bug could well be the trigger for a RFA.
I'm sorry I can't be more constructive, but clearly this bug
encompasses everything that could possibly bore me to death ;P
