One of the biggest changes in this release is that the default rules
are no longer conffiles and are now installed into /lib/udev/rules.d

You may still add your custom rules to /etc/udev/rules.d and these
will be processed after the default ones, and can thus override
anything they do.

To avoid side-effects of default rules (ie. running of programs),
create the file with the same name.

* New upstream release:
  - Changed to use autoconf
  - Default rules moved to /lib/udev/rules.d
  - udevadm symlinks removed.
  - udevadm info output for --device-id-of-file changed.
  - udevadm trigger has new --type option.
  - libvolume_id soname change.
  - libvolume_id now able to return multiple matches for a single block
    device, or no matches if conflicting metadata found.
  - libudev shared library introduced.
  - by-id/scsi-* and by-id/ieee-* links both created by Firewire disks.
  - Optical devices no longer probed for raid signatures.  (LP: #283316).
  - DEVTYPE=disk/partition no longer exported by default.
  - pnp support removed now that we have MODALIAS support in kernel.
  - Introduced /dev/block and /dev/char (see changelog for 124-6).
  - Rule matching engine changed, limits such as 5 ENV and ATTR matches
    and only one match for any other key are now gone.  NAME assignment
    is no longer special cased (subsequent assignments will now overwrite
    unless := is used).
  - Substantial memory footprint reduction work.

* debian/patches/01-cdrom-vol_id-probing.patch:
  - Dropped, included in upstream release.
* debian/patches/80-extras-dvb_device_name.patch:
  - Dropped, no longer compiles and won't be needed from the next kernel
    onwards.  Since these aren't boot critical, just do it in shell.
* debian/patches/80-extras-firmware.patch:
  - Dropped, no longer compiles anyway so we may as well just use the
    upstream firmware.sh which also supports crazy PackageKit stuff
* debian/patches/80-extras-ide_media.patch:
  - Dropped, the ide subsystem has had MODALIAS support since hardy using
    the media type.
* debian/patches/80-extras-usb_device_name.patch:
  - Dropped, we no longer need to support the legacy usb_device subsystem
    since we've had the newer ENVTYPE=usb_device objects since hardy.
  - Bump minimum kernel version to 2.6.24 for the initramfs.
* debian/patches/80-extras-vio_type.patch:
  - Dropped, we don't even build these modules. 
* debian/patches/80-extras-watershed.patch:
  - Dropped, we do not used it in any udev rules shipped in this package;
    it can be separated out into another source package if other things
    still use it (which we should try to make them not).

* Merged our rules with Upstream default rules, this results in a number
  of minor changes but achieves consistency with other distributions:
  * /dev/net/tun is now mode 666, the kernel documentation says this is safe
    since you still need CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tunnels.
  * /dev/srN are now the definitive names of SCSI CD-ROM devices, with
    /dev/scdN as deprecated symlinks to them; this is the exact opposite of
    how we had things before.
  * /dev/nvram is now in the kmem group, the nvram group has been dropped.
  * Removable disks have moved from the floppy group to the disk group, with
    floppy now largely reserved for real old-fashioned floppy devices (and
    the /dev/fd* devices are now all in floppy).  LP: #260982.
  * CD/BD-ROM devices should now consistently be in the cdrom group.
  * Tape devices should now consistently be in the tape group.
  * More video devices consistently in the video group.
  * Printers on printer-specific ports now in the lp group, ppdev module
    loaded when necessary.
  * The scanner group has been dropped, it's become increasingly difficult
    to determine what is and isn't a scanner; especially with multi-function
    devices - access to scanners is better handled by ACL now.
  * /dev/input devices no longer group writable
  * /dev/tty devices are now group writable (wall/write enabled)
  * /dev/rtc restored to root group.  LP: #306458.
  * Various changes to the way the dialout group is assigned, should lead
    to more reliable device groups thus specific rules dropped.
    LP: #264792.
  * Support for infiniband, iowarrior, usbdpfp, sxctl, rioctl, bsg and
    etherd devices.

* Add LSB headers to init scripts.  LP: #312324.
* Correct name of CD Aliases generator in postinst.  LP: #250232.
* Fixed /usr/lib/libvolume_id.so symlink.  LP: #232434.
* Dropped /dev/.static/dev.  LP: #253786.
