First off: Ubuntu is not debian--you'll probably get better help on a
ubuntu list, which can be found somewhere off of 'http://www.ubuntu.com'
One apparent difference is the use of hotplug--in standard debian
testing/unstable installs, udev has absorbed and conflicts with hotplug
so the best I can tell you is to try and install udev and set up udev
rules for it--with the caveat that I have no idea in what horrible ways
that may break a Ubuntu install!!
