This is indeed a serious issue. 

If we at least manage to get it packaged in the most famous FSDG
compliant distributions, especially Trisquel, *and* that it is being
shipped inside the graphical live installers, it could help a lot.

This way maybe some users would try to test it on many computers one
after the other.

However, as it was pointed before, it probably uses python2 as in
Parabola we have the following dependencies:
> python2 python2-distribute python2-pycurl pygtk pciutils usbutils

So if we need to convince distributions and/or make packages it might
be a good idea to do it after it has been tested with and/or migrated to
python3.
