Public bug reported:
currently system_device_drivers() does not list whether a driver is
installed or not, however since it needs to query apt for matching
packages anyway it might be worthwhile to check whether those packages
are installed or not.
in kubuntu we have a component dispatching notifications if a
recommended driver is available but not in use, however to check the in-
use part we need to access apt to check whether the driver is installed
to begin with, this unnecessarily ties the notifying component directly
to apt.
