This will change in very near future. > What's the use case for non-generic USB serial modules in d-i? Some USB-to-serial dongle can only work with chip-specific modules (and these are fairly common in newest braille devices, which we should see supported by usual d-i cdroms). > Note that most of these are _very_ special purpose, for example, > empeg is an in-car embedded computer.

Ah, yes, sorry, this list probably needs some cleaning up indeed :) Here is a maybe more reasonnable list: belkin_sa ? whiteheat ? digi_acceleport ? cp2101 ? ftdi_sio ? ir-usb ? mct_u232 ? pl2303 ? safe_serial ? These looked really like generic usb to rs232 converters, so having them in d-i is useful for installing debian over a serial port, for instance.
