I just saw your reply on -devel.  I'm guessing it's udev; not something
I'm totally happy about, but I guess systems using it are the exception
nowadays.

I've attached a new patch which removes the version check, but keeps
the kernel check intact.  It also removes the conffiles in postrm.

I did see in the postrm that you are removing the conffile and
conffile.dpkg-old.  You are, however, not removing conffile.dpkg-new
or conffile.dpkg-dist.  Is this indentional or just an omission?


Regards,
Roger
