ok, I wasn't sure for the blazer* everywhere.
I've' updated all megatec and megatec_usb entries to also reference
blazer_ser and blazer_usb (with still the prio on megatec ATM ; though
we can start to list as "blazer* or megatec*" if you feel that way)

thanks for these confirmations

glad to hear it ^_^
I've done the driver.list removal, leaving only the powerpanel refs.
can you take over the final removal of cyberpower (driver, manpage and
build rules)?

I'll commit the changes (including yours and Kjell's) once I've dealt
with Charles'

thanks for your feedback,
Arnaud
