Package: phpsysinfo
Version: 3.2.5-3
Severity: minor

Dear maintainer,

phpsysinfo suggests hddtemp which is going to be removed from the
archive.

hddtemp is a software from another age that will not be shipped with
Debian Bookworm release [1]. However it could be easily replaced by the
drivetemp kernel module (available since kernel 5.6) which uses the same
hwmon interface as for NVME drives and other systems sensors and is
supported by lm-sensors. It does not require any privilege, as opposed
to hddtemp which runs as a daemon or a setuid binary.

phpsysinfo currently suggests both hddtemp and lm-sensors, offering an
easy transition. The only thing to do is therefore to drop the hddtemp
suggests. Note that suggests do not affected installability, so there is
no urgency in doing so, but it should eventually be dropped.

Regards,
Aurelien
