[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#550317: devicekit-disks: Incorrectly detects a floppy drive

[Josselin Mouette]

Package: devicekit-disks
Version: 007-1
Severity: normal

DeviceKit detects a floppy drive on my system. I don’t have any floppy 
drive, so this is clearly incorrect.

Here is the corresponding devkit-disks --dump output.
