[This is basically #774062 =~ s/usb/pci/g]

update-pciids downloads a new /usr/share/misc/pci.ids file with probably
a different content and therefore a different md5sum, causing debsums to
fail on the pciutils package (see the bottom of this message).

While something like #544503 for pciutils (putting {pci,usb}.ids into a
(separate?) package in volatile) would be the better long-term solution
(as in: not downloading some random file from a random host without any
cryptographic verification and putting it into /usr/share) I'm proposing
to remove pci.ids from md5sums generation altogether for now.

Hi!

Some time ago I split the pci.ids file into its own package. But if
there are no updates and the user wants a fresher version of the file
and uses the script, then this will still happen.

I'm not fond of removing the entry from the md5sums file though.

The solution I had in mind was to switch to use alternatives, so that
we'd automatically get the latest version based on the file version.
Such as with:

https://git.hadrons.org/cgit/debian/pkgs/pci.ids.git/log/?h=pu/alternatives
https://git.hadrons.org/cgit/debian/pkgs/pciutils.git/log/?h=pu/alternatives

But I've never merged that, because then the /usr/share/misc/pci.ids
file stops being known to dpkg, and it's hard to see who owns it.


While writing this reply, it occurred to me that perhaps a better
option could be to change the update-pciids to download the
pci.ids.deb package from Debian unstable and install that instead.
Which should have none of the alternatives downsides, and should
always be the latest version.

Thanks,
Guillem
