PackageKit is not suitable for Debian, but Ubuntu reimplemented the same D-Bus interface on top of aptdaemon (session-installer). It has recently entered unstable. This interface is able to install packages given their name - if it’s only for that, you can also use aptdaemon directly, the only advantage is that it’s the same as Fedora’s. In all cases this implies writing a session daemon that listens to events when hardware is plugged, and asks the user for conformation before installing hardware-specific packages. I don’t know whether the stuff from Fedora can be re-used. Cheers, -- .''`.
