Hi all,
I'd like to upload a bugfix only version of hdparm, just to do a little
bug triage before lenny makes it out the door. I cannot imagine any side
effects of these changes, but since hdparm builds a udeb (not that it's
used by the installer), I thought I should ask before upload as well as
before even thinking about freeze exceptions. Patch below.
Cheers,

/etc/hdparm.conf, that will fail the first time (as the device nodes
don't yet exist) but will be properly set up when udev gets to them.
+ If you have devices that consistently come up in different orders (e.g.,
+ today's /dev/sda is tomorrow's /dev/sdb), then you can do one of two
+ things. Either you can directly use one of the various /dev/disk-by-*
