Bug#355851: a blindunfriendly debian installer problem



(Note: we rather say "a USB braille device")

Because no kernel modules are used for USB braille devices: the brltty
daemon drives them itself from userspace.

No (I don't own one). But that makes me realize that by default qemu
doesn't emulate a usb hub (I'm trying the installer in qemu). By adding
-usb option to qemu, usbcore correctly gets autoloaded, and brltty hence
can mount usbfs as expected.

Sorry for the noise.
