Bug#347681: Updating bugs that NEED to be fixed in Etch

thanks

This bug really needs to be fixed in Etch.  A user shouldn't have to make 
custom udev rules to force his input devices to be assigned the same dev name 
on every boot, or else risk having them change every boot, resulting in X 
loading with no cursor control.  The other alternative is to have evdev scan 
for the device, which should work (and according to this log file, does 
work!), but then crashes X for no apparent reason!

This is even tagged as fixed-upstream.  Couldn't it be fixed in Etch?  The 
bug's been filed for a year now.
