Idea #7158: Suggest APT packages for specific devices

Its one thing to have drivers to support a device. Its another to know which applications to install to use the device. I propose setting up a database which tells you what Applications you need to use your new device.


So if I want to know which TV Tuner programs I need for my TV tuner, I just select my TV tuner, and it will tell me which programs to install. If I set up a wiimote, it should highlight the wiimote libraries. And finally, if I get a blu-ray drive, it could suggest CD/DVD/blu ray burning/playback software.

And its not that hard to code really. It is just a basic database
