Subject: brltty: Does not support USB for Alva devices - please upgrade

Package: brltty
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

brltty added support for USB Alva Devices (in particular for a
Alva Braille System 40) since version 3.5, but in debian there's still
the old 3.4.x. Please upgrade this package, or a blind user with a new
braille device won't be able to use the system at all.

After checking both the dapper version and the Debian Sid version of brltty, it appears that the newest version in Debian is a new upstream release. I am wondering whether this would simply be better to sync to the latest Debian release?

Assuming it is inactive by default, yes.

Thanks Matt.

Please sync brltty 3.7.2-2 from Sid, ok to override Ubuntu changes.
