Udev incorporates the functionality of hotplug and thus is no longer a seperate package. You now can investiage writing udev rules. See the udev documentaion for more info. And the upgrade to 2.6.18 is one-way, so the old kernel will not work correctly. Well I'm someone could create a custom kernel and hack a solution but that would not be a useful endever as long as you plan to stick with the current Debian kernel.
