Wecome!

The plan is as follows: Once it is merged, the version will go at some
point into Debian unstable and testing. Once it is in testing there
will eventually be a trixie-backports version including it.

Not yet made our mind up if the change can be as well enabled in
trixie with its default kernel. Technically it is not, since it is a
new feature, so out of scope. Adding hardware support is. But it's
different here there is no udev-hid-bpf at all packages.

So we would need to live with it and have to use the backports version
for cases where needed. 

But let's first in any case see if we land it in 6.16.y based version.

Regards,
Salvatore
