But the utilities (lsusb and sysfstool) and its documentation aren't part of udev. Maybe these two upstream packages will be merged in the future. > (which I ITP'ed some weeks ago) Am I missing something? bugs.d.o/wnpp does not contain the word 'udev' and only once 'sysfs' (#215257, the ITP I'm talking about).

In the meantime I also prepared a package, including manpages and everything, since it is useful already in the sense that it fulfills its intended meaning (although I won't let it go into sarge). What a timing :-/ I still would be interested in it, but if you already have a package, then I won't stand in the way (although, to be honest, I feel a little bit fooled). But please tell other people about your intents by filing a proper ITP the next time! In the time I created the package I could as well have fixed some other bugs. Okay, maybe we could merge the efforts. IMHO it does not make much sense to have a separate package with lsusb and systool, they could be integrated into the udev package. I can send you all the additional stuff (library documentation, userspace tools and manpages) for inclusion) if you really want to merge the upstream packages.
