How about this: Max generalizes his (small :) patch to use a configurable location (or several? :) for usbmap extensions, so Debian can point that to /usr/lib/hotplug (assuming it still wants), and other distros can use /etc/hotplug/usb. Then "update-usb.usermap" could vanish from Debian (shouldn't matter in the short term), and this difference would all but go away. Someone writes this up for the usb hotplug webpage. >> How did /usr/lib/hotplug get settled on?

Does the Linux Filesystem standard >> have anything useful to say about this? Shouldn't it? My personal taste is not to create another such directory, FWIW. We have /etc/hotplug and /etc/hotplug/usb already in use, so that'd be my preferred default (as in Max's original patch).
