Well, ...
I think that this is not a position acceptable in debian right now, who aims
to support many less-supported-arches/subarches, who still struggle to get
their main patches into mainline. So i believe it is sane to accept that for
the etch timeline it will not be possible to add hotplug support for all of
them, and have some alternative way of handling those.
