Package: isenkram Severity: wishlist I would like to be able to mark all my hardware-support packages as automatically installed and have a metapackage to keep them installed.
That way, when I move my Debian install between computers, I can create a new metapackage for the new hardware, and purge the old one, which would then also remove any packages only needed for the old hardware. I could also create multiple task-hardware-support-* packages when moving back and forth between multiple different home/work computers. I can't find any easy way to get the name of the hardware from systemd, so I suggest that the metapackage be named task-hardware-support and there be a suffix option for users to add the hardware/hostname/etc. I can do this manually but it would be nice to have a script for it, and isenkram seems like the best place for that script to exist. PS: Another similar thing is the find-dbgsym-packages --deb option. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
