Binary package hint: micro-evtd

micro-evtd's udeb is needed for full support by d-i on the orion5x architecture.

All dependencies are in main and available in Jaunty on the ARM architecture.

execute_command2 is strange. It should not conditionally run stuff out of /tmp. Running stuff out of /etc is a bit odd too, but is at least safe. I would expect it to run out of /usr/lib, with configuration details in /etc instead.

If I understand correctly, this daemon just reads hardware states and sets hardware state? After opening the required files, could it drop privileges?

Michael, this MIR is lingering in the component-mismatches report still - can you provide the information Kees asked for?

We've dropped orion5x support from d-i for jaunty, so I think this could be dropped too.

Yes, that's correct, thanks Colin; we don't have orion5x hardware to test these, so if nothing else than orion5x uses micro-evtd, I'm invalidating this MIR.
