So the fingerprint reader has to be present at install time. Those
buying a reader after install (there /are/ external USB FP readers)
are recommended to re-install Debian ;-P

Of course, this is meant tongue-in-cheek: I just wanted to shed

Surely there is some "canonical" way of dealing with "oh, this shiny
piece of hardware has just appeared; what do you want to do with
it?".
