Package: sdparm
Version: 1.07-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

As part of our standard operating procedures when managing disk
related issues, we make use of the sas_disk_blink script that was
originally provided as part of the sg3-utils package.

The script was removed from the squeeze version of sg3-utils, and a
little digging uncovered an unfortunate timing/versioning issue in
that while sas_disk_blink was removed from sg3-utils as of version
1.28 (squeeze has version 1.29) and was moved to the sdparm package as
of version 1.04 (unfortunately, squeeze has 1.02, which leaves
sas_disk_blink in a squeeze limbo).

I noticed that the "scripts" directory doesn't get included in the
package, and thought that it's omission may be a packaging bug.  I'm
not familiar with building cdbs based packages, so I won't confuse
matters by trying to supply a patch.

Is there any chance that sas_disk_blink could be included in a future
update?

Cheers.

Dameon.
