I uploaded to http://www.bofh.it/~md/debian/ my set of *.rc and *.agent
hotplug scripts, some based on the original ones and some written by me
from scratch.
With the goal of making them as simple as possible, I removed from the
original scripts any support for 2.4 kernels and code made obsolete by
udev, like waiting for sysfs files and the whole /sbin/hotplug.
Please comment.

Thanks! Comments are below.

The original hotplug scripts have "dmfe" blacklisted. Your scripts 
don't. Why?

Neither set of the scripts has "8139cp" blacklisted. Shame on me, I 
still cannot test that 8139cp and 8139too work together, and I don't 
know the most relevant mailing list to ask that.

As to buffering in logger.agent to avoid interleaving events in the log, 
I used the following approach: if there is a SEQNUM, log each event into 
its own file: event.$SQENUM.

+1 to the proposal to move net.agent out of the package, into 
distro-specific initscripts.

Not sure about ide-generic in ide.rc. Any real use case for it?

In ieee1394.rc, there is a cosmetic typo probably caused by 
copy-and-paste from input.rc. s/input/ieee1394/

Also serio.agent mentions ieee1394.

modalias.rc and pnp.rc don't (and can't) handle blacklists. I propose 
putting a note in the README upon this subject (possibly mentioning the 
relevant backlist support in module-init-tools), because this can load 
watchdogs. Anyway, I feel uncomfortable with two blacklists.

These are results of Debian QA, you can find the details by looking at
the changelog for the Debian hotplug package.

I assumed that with udev serializing the events buffering would not
be an issue, so far it has been working.

I think I added it after a bug report.

They are not supposed to, modprobe does. The Debian package will be
patched to use /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/.
Actually the main issue is that ide.rc cannot use the modprobe
blacklist, but Rusty considers this a feature...
