Hi Didier!

First of all, thanks for caring about libfprint package.

Unfortunately I've somehow bad news for you. It's not something relating
libfprint+2.6.28. This is because libfprint does not talk directly to
kernel, it uses libusb which is in user space. Therefore it's something
relating libusb+2.6.28 with libfprint :-(

I'm afraid I've to say we will not support this branch of libfprint
anylonger as we are centering our efforts on delivering an up-to-date
release of a new branch of Fprint project, which will likely solve this
problem and almost anyone else ones, and it will see the light *really*
soon  =)

Again, thanks for caring about libfprint and Debian.

Stay tuned for news about
