That's correct, and it detects the presence of the read-edid tools
using:

xdebconfigurator:74:chomp($getedid = `which get-edid`); # read-edid
exists?


I couldn't find any usage of read-edid's executables (get-edid or
parse-edid) in lm-sensors. The only occurrence of the string "edid" at
all...

pwd

/home/all/SourceCode/lm-sensors-3-3.0.2

grep -rni edid *

debian/control:14:Suggests: sensord, read-edid, i2c-tools
debian/changelog:776:  * Suggests: read-edid (closes: bug#265890).
prog/detect/sensors-detect:1212:       # for SPD and EDID EEPROMs because some hardware monitoring chips
prog/detect/sensors-detect:1218:       name => "EDID EEPROM",

...is in the Debian changelog where it says:

debian/changelog:776:  * Suggests: read-edid (closes: bug#265890)

Looking at that Debian bug

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=265890

it seems as if the only reason for the Suggests was because:

"...decode-edid.pl is not present in the package..."

The output of get-edid | parse-edid is the same as it ever was so
packages relying on the output won't be affected. The only change is a
gain in the availability of the tools on 64-bit installations.
