This is how fso-config-gta02 manages the dependency on fso-sounds-*
packages [1] ;-)

What is to be avoided, IMHO, is to tie users to one (or more) accessory
package(s), being them fso-config-* or fso-sounds-*.

Anyway, I committed the fso-config-general patch [2], which works
without any problem on my sid-amd64 after I fixed some minor issues with
gsm0710muxd [3].

OK, I'll prepare the announce and tomorrow afternoon I'll upload the
device-agnostic fso-frameworkd if no one complains before.

Thx, bye,
