lshwd: Package in the repo is at the latest stable (few years old). There's a newer rc release but : do we still need this?  It's still popular (25.39 %) though  so I could always update it to the rc release.

We should really drop this hwd stuff. Apparently some howtos still recommend using "hwd -xa" to generate xorg.conf, but this command will generate a bloated configuration file that is probably not even compatible to the latest xorg-server versions.

lshwd hasnt been used by hwd since version 5.0 ChangeLog says: 21-Nov-2007, version 5.0 - lshwd replaced with pciutils and usbutils 27-Nov-2007, version 5.1.2 - fixed mkxcfg, no lshwd dependency
