Hi guys, I'd like to propose the addition of a new package, hwids, to [core]. The package would provide /usr/share/hwdata/{pci,usb}.ids and the upstream would be [0], maintained by Diego Elio Pettenò from Gentoo and yours truly. The purpose of this new package is as follows: * let the package manager keep the hwids databases up-to-date without having to update the {usb,pci}utils packages * drop update-* scripts from {usb,pci}utils as we don't want programs writing to /usr (and it would not be needed any longer as I expect to update the hwids package whenever the files change). * let packages where this makes sense, such as udev, depend on hwids rather than on {usb,pci}utils (which might one day allow us to move some stuff from [core] to [extra], and certainly out of [base]).
