Being that I'm using debian woody (stable) (which for some reason is still using
2002_01_14) and Mandrake 9.1 (which i have not tested but uses 2002_04_01) would it
be to much to ask to add a note to the docs stating such?  Maybe even alert the
distro's that they are using old bugy version of your package?  My first thought
here was that hotplug was a dodgy package that doesn't work as advertized and no one
cares, only after bothering to correct this did I learn that the distro's are using
old and buggy versions of your software.

Anyone got a "non broken" deb package of this somewhere?  i'm still a bit weary of
compiliing things in deb to replace "core" functions (yes, I see hotplug as core).

Thanks
