Sid now doesn't depends of it anymore since last Petter's upload. It
was change to recommends.

Because of that change, now, it'll be the same. IMHO, would be good to
have a possibility to include and remove things due a suite since
it'll be need for a lot of cases and then sarge could had a
configuration to say that it needs hwinfo while, after hwinfo fixture,
sid will have it already include by default.
