This information could be useful for both package descriptions.
(Maybe, for triggerhappy:

	That is, this is similar to esekeyd but it also supports
	<such and such>, allowing you to <such and such>.

and for esekeyd:

	This package does not do <such and such>; for that, see
	triggerhappy.  In the simple situations it does handle,
	esekeyd is {simpler to configure | compatible with the
	old funkey daemon | more conservative in its use of
	resources | providing a different interface that existing
	users might be used to | whatever}.

)  As you can see, there are some placeholders because I do not know
the packages; I am just saying it would be nice to provide the
sysadmin with advice of some sort to choose between them.

Both sound very useful to me.  Thanks to you both.
