Package: brltty
Version: 5.3
Severity: serious
Justification: Makes computer unusable with Vario Ultra devices
Hello,
The brltty support for Vario Ultra has a very inconvenient issue: when
typing too fast (e.g. typing double letters or typing backspace, etc.),
brltty restarts its Baum driver for the device. That makes working with
it very inconvenient. Upstream has commited a fix, I'll upload it
shortly.
