libdetect/kudzu/etc?

["Ross Burton" <ross.burton@mail.com>]

Hi,

RedHat and Mandrake have a wonderful program called Kudzu which does a quick
hardware check on bootup for new hardware and attempts to configure it.
Very handy!  Does anything like this exist for Debian unstable?  I have a
quick hunt around packages.debian.org and found libdetect, which is the
library I believe kudzu uses.  But is Kudzu or something similar available?

I'd love to try apt-cache search hardware, but my linux machine appears to
be slowly dying...  ;-(
