Right, I don't think we want to try to make udev co-installable with hotplug at this point. But there are users who apparently still use hotplug instead of udev on their systems, which to me is sufficient to downgrade this bug. Perhaps the package should be removed post-etch, but that should primarily be up to the maintainer.

Can I help with gathering that info ? I just meant information about whether there are still valid use cases for hotplug, and apparently there are. > I read documantation about network place detection at Debian reference and > found description of hotplug usage.

Do you have a pointer to the part of this document that should be fixed? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
