Sure, I fully understand that.

But it would still help to mention in the package description the names 
of the two most prominent game controllers that this packages adds 
support for. This would have saved me a lot of googling (and rejecting a 
lot of ill-sounding and outdated advice on this way), just to end up 
with the exact same conclusion: install the steam-devices package.

Thanks!
