The bs driver was renamed during the 3.10->4.0 development cycle.
The 3.10 version of BRLTTY in Debian is a (almost) true 3.10 version,
the 3.10 package in Ubuntu is a very recent snapshot of BRLTTY from
the development repository, i.e. its almost a 4.0.  That is why
the current Ubuntu version of BRLTTY has hm (HIMS, the new name for
BrailleSense) while the 3.10 version of BRLTTY in Debian has the bs driver.

No, in 4.0 bs is named hm.

My natural language parser failed on the above sentence.  Maybe you can
rephase, I am sure as the Debian BRLTTY maintainer I should be able
to give an answer to your question, as soon as I understand it.
