I am a fan of my fingerprint reader on my Dell XPS. As was mentioned,
hopefully demoting it to universe can actually bring the package into
better shape. Unfortunately the man page is bad
(https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thinkfinger/+bug/203973)
and I think anyone who wants to use it usefully also has to use a PPA
because of https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thinkfinger/+bug/256429.

I'll be happy to test and verify any SRUs or other fixes.
