Hrm this is kind of an aisde, but python-ledgerblue is a plugin for
electrum to support specific hardware, which makes me wonder why it is
in one of the inputs for electrum at all...

There is at least one other, python-btchip-python; electron-cash has
similar inputs, python-keepkey and python-trezor.

My understanding is optional plugins in general should not be in inputs
for packages; people should add the plugins to their profile or
manifest, etc. for the hardware they plan to use...


live well,
