Thank you for the detailed explanation!

Yeap, I remember that one and I fully agree with Timo for the udev
solution.

This means that you already use part of cornucopia, don't you?  In this
case, I would like to have Michael advice here: is it better to stick
with Python frameworkd or should Debian start to migrate to cornucopia?
What are the plans for FSO-milestone5.5?

Another question, strictly related to packaging: is it better to build
packages from a monolithic source or to extract each component from the
Git repository?  Or, if you prefer the same question from another side,
will you release each component at different times?

Thx, bye,
