Bug#1021945: libapache2-mod-authn-yubikey: Package name and description are ambiguous
Package: libapache2-mod-authn-yubikey
X-Debbugs-Cc: borden_c@tutanota.com
Version: Is the package name false or misleading?
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer (when there is one),
The package name 'authn-yubikey' implies that the module only supports YubiKeys. However, the documentation suggests that it might (?) work for any FIDO2 or hardware security device (SoloKey, Titan Key, Nitrokey, etc.) where it can extract a hardware token. If so, then the package should be renamed to indicate better what it does support (for example ���-authn-fido2).
If this module is only designed to work for Yubikeys, then the package description should say so to reduce confusion and people trying to use it for anything other than YubiKeys. Right now, I'm not sure whether it's worth me downloading and trying to configure for my non-Yubi security keys.
