Note that it doesn't gzip them, and oui.txt is 8.4MB. Dependencies only tend
to need one or two of these files, lke usb.ids or pci.ids. Also the hwdata
project
only updates these every couple months. We could define a package for each
individual
file, then if for some reason all are needed in a directory, a "hwdata" union
package
could be created.
Also, this hwdata project is not fully up to date either but have 1-2 month old
versions.
It also installs dist-blacklist.conf. Do we need that?
