Distro packages are can create users/groups, install systemd service files, and install udev rules. They also can deal with distro specifics like uaccess vs. plugdev. Despite those benefits they present challenges related to dependency management. Signed-off-by: Philip Molloy <[email protected]>

labgrid has a lot of dependencies, so I'm very skeptical if we should recommend using distro-packaged versions. Supporting all these version combinations seems almost impossible. We could add a warning that you'd be expected to reproduce any issues via |

As the author of the Fedora Copr package I have done some basic testing. I was able to run both services, acquire a place and access a console. I tried the Debian package as well, but did not test it extensively.
Note that in both cases dependencies (most importantly gRPC) are older than required by
pyproject.toml.
