Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree for a couple of reasons. It's my understanding that the kernel interfaces in 2.6 are changing such that hotplug will not be an option for hardware detection in that kernel branch at the time etch releases; and 2.6 will be the kernel installed by default in etch and the preferred kernel in general, which on top of everything else means that udev will be installed by default on these same systems. And if that's not enough, many of our architectures will definitely be shipping with *only* 2.6 kernels in etch, and it is a goal of the release team to make this happen across all architectures if possible. So please treat this bug as release-critical for etch; if it's reasonable to do so towards the end of the release cycle (i.e., hotplug is still around at all), the release team may grant an exception, but far better to assume that hotplug *won't* make the cut. If you need help converting hotplug rules to udev, it's my understanding that the udev maintainer is more than happy to help with this when approached.
