this was indeed just an example ... you can replace "DVB-T USB stick"
with "soundblaster play", "PTP camera XYZ", etc... what we care about in
the arm team is that our kernel is as close to the -generic kernel as
possible so that all peripherials which work on x86 also work in the
same quality on our arm images (as long as there is a way to attach them
physically), what we care about in ubuntu-arm are mainly endusers,
thats what i wanted to point out with my example.
