[ Reason ] Linux started to have multiple /dev/video device nodes in linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64 (#1011938). This broke hdmi2usb-udev because we wouldn't know which /dev/video device to capture video from. The DebConf Video team has known about this problem since buster, but has only recently figured out the (fairly straightforward) solution. Blame COVID-19 for us not meeting in person again, and dealing with it. [ Impact ] hdmi2usb-udev doesn't give you an unambiguous device to capture video from, for your hdmi2usb hardware. There is very little of this hardware in the wild, so the DebConf video team are almost the only affected people. [ Tests ] Manually tested at the Hamburg Debian Reunion 2022. [ Risks ] Pretty trivial changes. Extremely low popcon :) Rare, out of production hardware. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] 1. Add a suffix to the device node, from information provided by 60-persistent-v4l.rules 2. Sort the udev rule *after* 60-persistent-v4l.rules.
