I think we should follow the same path as with the 'megatec' driver in
Testing. If it compiles cleanly, I see no reason why not to put it in
Testing. If you're reasonably confident the new 'sec' driver is indeed a
replacement for the existing 'gamatronic' driver, add an additional
message in the upsdrv_banner() function of the 'gamatronic' driver to
notify people that they should move to the 'sec' driver. Do *not* remove
the old driver, in order not to break existing installations without
warning.

Best regards, Arjen
