Thanks.

It will most be installing package that are using the special hardware.
Example given, for PDA support, search for 'PDA' in synaptic.

I can understand that one expects the installer doing the install of all
packages. One the user founds his way to the package manager, he may
start understanding why the installer has a limited scoop.

Your various devices do work in the Debian distribution.
Just find your way to package managers like synaptic.
