No other comment about the packages.

Now, answering to Steve Langasek, I'm the maintainer and upstream of NUT [1],
which is to UPS what SANE is to scanner. The current driver for USB/HID devices,
named hidups, will soon be superseded by newhidups which uses libhid and
libhidparser.

The fact that UPS are HID devices is a standardisation problem. Mfrs like MGE,
APC and
others have decided to make the Power Device Class for HID to describe USB UPSs.
So it is. And Martin's task is to prepare this switch for the packages part.
