This is pretty bad. Apparently a change in the udev rules that changes the 
persistent device name for the gpio-keys module has been backported to 
stable.

This breaks qcontrol, a hardware control package for QNAP devices 
(arm/armel). See the BR mentioned above for background.

How would people prefer to handle this:
- revert the change in udev
  Most logical option as stable updates are not supposed to introduce to
  break other packages like this.
- upload a new version of qcontrol to follow udev
  Probably the simplest option. I strongly doubt there are any other users
  of the persistent device name.

Cheers,
FJP
