I assume, this bugreport was motivated by bug #880122 by Chris Lamb from 2017, which proposed to remove floppy support from hw-detect package, since floppies appear to no longer be widely used for ages: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=880122 The same bugreport made me working on preparations for removing floppy support from debian-installer templates recently: https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2019/09/msg00057.html With this "Debian Ports" argumentation, we need a discussion on this topic first, as it seems. @debian-boot team: How to deal with floppy support these days?
