The change by cinereous contains the comment:
How strange, on the 7170 at my place MDEV handles the usb-devices, a hub and a memory key with a ext3 fs and a swap, very well. Uses of USB such as aura have never been tested by me, so I cannot tell.
Not that I really mind that MDEV is placed under unstable, but since - I assume - it may deter people from using it, the move may result in less testing and possiblities for the mdev package to develop properly.
So:
a) Do you have reports that suggest or show that mdev cannot handle USB devs at other installs as well?
b) Could you be a bit more specific, i.e. what type of devices do not work.
May I suggest that policy changes like moving a package to or from unstable are a bit more argumented or are discussed on the forum before.
I do really appreciate your efforts, such as augmenting mdev to support new hardware (mdev: add support for 7240), so please do not take offence in my comments.
