For sarge you probably want udev in conjunction with hotplug -- usbmgr
in unstable at least tells you to use hotplug. One note: on upgrading
from to the new stable whenever it comes out, you will probably be asked
to remove hotplug--udev does now what hotplug used to do. I'm using
udev quite happily in debian unstable with kernel 2.6.17-rc1 and have
used it since 2.6.15 when I installed this box.
