I do not have complete overview of which systems are using appstream information these days, but it is worth noting that isenkram is not the only one. I believe the default KDE and GNOME package managers use it, but have not confirmed this myself. I have only focused on the hardware related part of appstream used by isenkram, and would suggest to check with the appstream package maintainer for information about the general use of appstream in Debian. I provide a isenkram specific "cache" with information that I believe should be available for everyone using the appstream system, and for calibre this cache contain the following entries: Package: calibre Modaliases: unused(usb:v2237p*d*ic08isc*ip*, usb:v0525pA4A5d*ic08isc*ip*) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
