Subject: usb.usermap.local not handled when upgrading hotplug

Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2004 18:21:13 -0500

Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040105-3
Tags: sarge

I recently upgraded hotplug from Woody to Sarge, and some devices
stopped working.  After poking around, I discovered that it was because
the new hotplug doesn't read my /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.local file.
(Looks like this was changed 7 Apr 2003 by hotplug version 0.0.20030117-6.)

It would have been nice if apt-get had at least told me about this
incompatible change.  But we can do better:

I suggest that during the postinst configuration step, if a (now old)
/etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.local file is found, the postinst script move
it to /etc/hotplug/usb/local.usermap where the new hotplug will find it.

Probably the user should be asked to confirm this, with a low-priority
question.

Probably a comment line should be prepended to the new usermap file
explaining where the file came from.

I'm no wizard with debconf, so I can't help with the confirmation
question, but here is a simple patch with no question to the user:
