Package: appstream
Version:0.10.2-1
Severity: wishlist

When using isenkram to look up the USB ID supported by pymissile, the
appstream data list pymissile as a match, but when I use appstreamcli to
do the same it does not.  Please change appstreamcli to use file glob
matching when looking up modalias values.  In short, I would like this
call to match pymissile in Debian unstable:

  appstreamcli what-provides modalias \
    usb:v1130p0202d0100dc00dsc00dp00ic03isc00ip00in00

This is how you can do the equivalent lookup using isenkram:

% python /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/isenkram/lookup.py \
  usb:v1130p0202d0100dc00dsc00dp00ic03isc00ip00in00
Locating packages supporting this hardware (AppStream):
  pymissile
Locating packages supporting this hardware (extra, git/local):
  pymissile
%

I sketched a way to do this in
