The modalias appstream metadata provide a mechanism for users to locate the packages they need or want for their hardware. It can be compared to the package description used by 'apt search' and the file lists handled by 'apt-file search'. For this to work well, the appstream modalias data set need to be up to date, complete and correct. This make me conclude that 'warning' is the correct level for the lintian check. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
