Yep, got it in 2.4.6.5, which I'm currently working on.

That's quite welcome. I've tweaked it to use override_dh_installudev
given I've just moved to using dh, and hopefully that shouldn't break
too much on non-Linux architectures.

I guess we want to keep an eye on the check-mtp-device thingy in the
-port0 package, which is being handled a bit similarly to the
check-ptp-device one; although no rules are generated from there.

Upload should happen in experimental in a few (hours|days).

Thanks for that really appreciated patch.

Mraw,
KiBi.
