So UbuntuDrivers.detect will be useful for getting a list of available driver packages. But how will presentation/selection of drivers be handled? Does each package represent a driver, and information to be displayed to the user be derived from that? (I'm going by the design from the wiki linked to by the blueprint) And for cases where multiple drivers per device are available, how will the frontends for this handle grouping of packages by device? These were all questions I've come up with when I sat down to do an implementation of a frontend, and realized I did not have the answers for.
