If you want a solution before Greg's 2.5-ish "hotplug firmware" package,
My suggestion to you and Greg is that you expect the new stuff to use
some directory like "/etc/hotplug/usb.firmware".
Then your current stuff might just append to /etc/hotplug/usb.handmap
when it's installed (via RPM, APT, whatever) and use fxload with a
custom /etc/hotplug/usb/backpack script. But if RPM/APT/... sees that
firmware directory it could say "get updated software".
That'd let you have a solution that works for now, and it'd give you
a clean upgrade to a better one later ...
