Aha.  I notice the new version 1:1.0.0.81~ds-2 in unstable provide one
USB device in
/usr/share/metainfo/com.steampowered.steam-devices.metainfo.xml, at
least:

  <provides>
    <modalias>usb:v1130p0202d*</modalias>
  </provides>

My edition of /usr/share/misc/usb.ids do not list this ID:

1130  Tenx Technology, Inc.
        0001  BlyncLight
        0002  iBuddy
        0004  iBuddy Twins
        0202  Rocket Launcher
        6604  MCE IR-Receiver
        6606  U+P Mouse
        660c  Foot Pedal/Thermometer
        6626  Key
        6806  Keychain photo frame
        c301  Digital Photo viewer [Wallet Pix]
        f211  TP6911 Audio Headset

ID 0202 is not listed on <URL: https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/1130 >
either, so I am not quite sure which device this is.  It is not
mentioned in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-steam-input.rules or
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-steam-vr.rules either.

Anyway, it is up to you and upstream if they want to announce supported
hardware using Appstream.
