+i2c-tools (utilities for I2C)
+
+The I2C tools that used to be part of the lm-sensors package have been
+split to a separate package.
+The i2c-tools package contains a heterogeneous set of I2C tools for
+Linux: a bus probing tool, a chip dumper, register-level SMBus access
+helpers, EEPROM decoding scripts, EEPROM programming tools, and a
+python module for SMBus access.
