Bug#319583: pcmciautils packaging followup

[Mattia Dongili <malattia@linux.it>]

Hello,

I didn't find time enough to do much work on pcmciautils :/

Anyway I'd still like to help and I plan to look into the package
further in the next days.

I just found [1], it suggests how to handle a smooth upgrade and let
cardmgr and pcmciautils co-exist.

How to do it?
The first thing coming to my mind is having a pcmcia-common that does
all the configuration stuff, and puts kernel-version-aware
init/udev/hotplug(?) scripts around, the 2 packages pcmcia-cs and
pcmciautils use it.
Also pcmcia-cs will need changes obviously.

Do you agree? Better ideas? Do you have different plans on upgrades?

I'll (hopefully) start working in the direction I outlined above in the
next days unless you stop me. :)

Thanks.
