I'd really prefer if Ubuntu wouldn't do its own thing for everything
they possibly can. We try to push some of the more exotic device
metadata into the respective packages and the developers of those
packages should be able to rely on being able to drop in additional hwdb
and have things work everywhere. If Ubuntu then goes and doesn't allow
drop-ins and moves generation of these files to compile-time then you
effectively make that impossible. And that's really uncool of you.
