Bug#474964: Handling bugs properly (Was: Bug#474964: ...)

See #407256

Hmmm, this is interesting.  The bug report says:

   It's a kernel bug which affects module-init-tool

so I think the problem seems to be assigned to the right package.
Moreover it says:

   we may work around it in udev since the upstream kernel maintainer
   refuses to implement a proper fix

If there is a workaround in udev I think this bug can be closed (or
at least decreased in severity to minor/7wishlist) if there is a proper
documentation (for instance in README.Debian, i wonder if such a problem
qualifies for NEWS.Debian?) of the problem and what to do to circumvent
the problem.  Moreover I wonder whether this documentation should be
put into linux-image packages or rather module-init-tools which is finally
affected.  What do you think?  I'd volunteer to write the things down
but beeing no expert in these kernel internas myself, I would like to
hear your opinion what you regard as the best way to provide the
relevant information to the user.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
