Please add to the Debian description a comparison between ltunify and existing packages in Debian that provide this functionality. eg: Why should people who use these existing packages try ltunify? Solaar-cli is deprecated, so maybe that? When I look at the existing description, I think "neat, someone reinvented the wheel", and see nothing that convinces me to migrate to ltunify. It's also worth mentioning that ltunify doesn't support HID++ 2.0 whereas Solaar does, and possibly adding an example of the newest Logitech device that ltunify supports. Thank you for documenting everything at the upstream website :-) Reading that document I get a clear sense of your enthusiasm for this work, and I wonder if ltunify's Debian description could be framed in a way that spoke to those who share a similar passion for reverse engineering protocols? There are enough people using Logitech peripherals that we really ought to have native-desktop-integrated pairing for GNOME and KDE Plasma by now, rather than a tray application. I wonder if the missing piece is a libsolaar or libltunify... Thanks, Nicholas
