[Pkg-electronics-devel] Lintian warning appstream-metadata-missing-modalias-provide

[Geert Stappers]

Hi Debian Electronics Team,

Lintian warns about 'appstream-metadata-missing-modalias-provide'
and says
N: 
N:    This package contain a udev rule for providing device access to the
N:    console user (using the uaccess udev TAG) or to members of the plugdev
N:    file group without announcing the hardware support using AppStream.
N:    
N:    Refer to https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines for details.
N:    
N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
N:    
N:    Check: appstream-metadata, Type: binary
N: 


At https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines#Announcing_supported_hardware
is an example with 1 software application and 1 hardware device.


What to do with the warning?

What if an application supports several devices?
Put IDs of several devices in the same XML file?
