  In testing or unstable, you can:

    apt-get install scsiadd

  For example, to add my CD-ROM, I do:

    scsiadd -a 1 0 2 0

  These numbers are host (bus) 1, channel=0, id=2, lun=0. For your
  typical device, channels and luns are 0, the host is the SCSI bus
  (typically 0, unless you have more than one SCSI card), and the id
  is what you've set the switch or jumpers on the device to.
