It seems firewire related, right? - sorry, I cannot comment on that
then, I don't have firewire devices.

You mean it's not worth because it is going to be removed from debian?

If we want teem collaboration, we should make our processes as

are packages with special considerations, they should probably not be
team maintained then.
