Thank you for your prompt response which proves my assumption you might
be missing in action wrong.  That's why I revert the QA upload to
delayed and I'm happy I used the delayed queue.

Please inspect this commit

   https://salsa.debian.org/debian/laptop-detect/-/commit/d0233563565e01031c37d5985a9aa49b1215c19f

which refers to Debian Commons maintenance

   https://wiki.debian.org/DebianCommons

I think this implements what you wrote below.  Please let me know if you want
me to upload this.

Kind regards and thank you for maintaining laptop-detect
    Andreas.
