This stopped working with packagekit 1.0 as its apt backend is gone and aptcc
does not support plugins.

-PackageKit API
---------------
-If you want to integrate driver lookups in software which should not be
-distribution specific, or is not written in Python, you should use the
-PackageKit API instead of the UbuntuDrivers.detect Python module. In
-particular, ubuntu-drivers-common ships PackageKit plugins for the
-"WhatProvides" PackageKit query for the types "MODALIAS" (corresponding to
-UbuntuDrivers.detect.packages_for_modalias()), and "HARDWARE_DRIVER"
-(corresponding to UbuntuDrivers.detect.system_driver_packages()).
-This also works with aptdaemon's PackageKit compatibility layer
-(python-aptdaemon.pkcompat), which is the preferred PackageKit API
-implementation in Ubuntu.
