Note that every Dependency can be overturned by equivs. So, if a certain
dependency is useful for everyone but a very small, tech-savvy part of
the users then it should be a hard Dependency. Not sure if many will
want to use fso-frameworkd without the phone functionality. I’d say:
Make it a Depends until someone shouts.

I use mickeyterm and mdbus from time to time, and I think these are
useful. I agree about uboot-envedit, which I haven’t used myself for a
long time either.

Greetings and a great thanks to you,
