An update, changing 'readlink -f' to simply 'readlink' definitely
doesn't work.  Replacing it with 'echo' *seems* to work for me.  I don't
feel comfortable sending in a patch to do this, because I don't under-
stand what side-effects it might have.

To ask again, I'm proposing to change the line in /etc/hotplug/usb.agent
that reads:

REMOVER=/var/run/usb/$(readlink -f $SYSFS/$DEVPATH | sed -e 's;/;%;g')

to:

REMOVER=/var/run/usb/$(echo -n $SYSFS/$DEVPATH | sed -e 's;/;%;g')

This gives REMOVER a consistent value for both add and insert events
(even when the sysfs device is already gone during the remove event).
