Any hope to have Appstream metainfo XML included in the package now?

Bug#838788: printer-driver-ptouch: Please announce supported hardware using AppStream

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: printer-driver-ptouch
Version: 1.4.2-1
Severity: wishlist
User: p...@hungry.com
Usertags: appstream-modalias

Hi.

The printer-driver-ptouch package is one of the packages in the Debian
archive that should be proposed for installation when a given hardware
dongle is inserted or available.  Thanks to the appstream system, this
can now be announced in a way other tools can use and act on.  I've
written the isenkram system to ask the current user if hardware specific
packages should be installed when a new dongle is installed or already
present on a machine, and isenkram now uses appstream as one source for
hardware to package mappings.

You can read more about this on my blog, 
http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Using_appstream_with_isenkram_to_install_hardware_related_packages_in_Debian.html
 >.

Instructions on how to create the metadata XML file can be found in
https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines >.

It would be great if you could add an appstream metainfo file to the
printer-driver-ptouch package, with content similar to this:

  
  
   [...]
   
usb:v04F9p2015d*
   
  


If there are other hardware ids or kernel modules also supported by the
package, please add those too. :)
