[Pkg-auth-maintainers] Bug#836385: yubikey-personalization: Please announce supported hardware using appstream

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: yubikey-personalization
Version: 1.17.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi.

The yubikey-personalization package is one of the packages in the Debian
archive that should be installed when a given hardware dongle is
inserted or available.  Thanks to the appstream system, thus can now be
announced in a way other tools can use and act on.  I've written the
isenkram system to ask the current user if hardware specific packages
should be installed when a new dongle is installed, and isenkram now
uses appstream as one source for hardware to package mappings.

You can read more about this on my blog, 
<URL: http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Using_appstream_with_isenkram_to_install_hardware_related_packages_in_Debian.html >.

It would be great if you could add an appstream metainfo file to the
yubikey-personalization package, with content similar to this:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <component>
   [...]
   <provides>
      <modalias>usb:v1050p0010d*</modalias>
    </provides>
  </component>

If there are other USB ids also supposed by the package, please add
those too. :)
