Re: udev and the 'hotplug' package
The /usr/share/doc/udev/changelog.Debian.gz has (bottom up):
Makefile: remove dev.d/ hotplug.d/ from install target
o correct detection of hotplug.d/ udevsend loop
o handle renamed network interfaces properly if we manage hotplug.d/
o handle /etc/hotplug.d/ only if the event comes from udevd
o don't call the hotplug scripts with a test run
o handle whole hotplug event with udevd/udev
....
It's the existence of /etc/hotplug which confuses me.
In testing/unstable, libsane has installed a hook in /etc/hotplug.d,
and also in /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d, while libgphoto has a file in
/etc/hotplug/usb ... it's my best idea now that if all packages would
consider placing their hooks into /etc/udev to be sufficient, then
these folders in /etc wouldn't be necessary anymore and could
be deleted ... am i right ? But maybe there are icky implications.
