The new hotplug subsystem cannot handle blacklisting anymore, and now delegates it to modprobe. modprobe uses a different syntax, so the old /etc/hotplug/blacklist* files are not supported anymore. Considering that the other distributions have no plans to keep supporting hotplug-style blacklisting I think we can just switch to the new system and forget about it. *BUT* if somebody really feels strongly about this, as the module-init-tools maintainer I would not object to a modprobe patch to add support old-style blacklists, as long as it will be ready in a few days and the submitter is willing to maintain it as long as it will be needed. The affected packages are: alsa-base Debian ALSA Maintainers <pkg-alsa-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org> capiutils Paul Slootman <paul@debian.org> hostap-utils Andres Salomon <dilinger@debian.org> libphidgets0 martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> libsane Julien BLACHE <jblache@debian.org> lm-sensors Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org> -- ciao, Marco
