There is also the problem of /etc/hotplug/blacklist, which will not be removed until hotplug will be manually purged and may have been modified locally (and what you see from one side as an automatic upgrade procedure I see from the other side as silently dropping configuration debris which may cause unexpected behaviours in the future). > Please correct me if I am wrong, but the script conversion will be necessary > for a proper upgrade path from sarge to etch anyway, and thus such stuff is > *non-optional*. It's arguable how much drivers blacklisting is critical. It's uncommon for users to do it, and as long as they read the NEWS.Debian email before rebooting nothing bad will happen anyway. -- ciao, Marco
