udev suggests no packages.

-- debconf information excluded

Even though system has tape drives, there are no device files in 
/dev/tape/by-id for tape drives.  (There are for autochangers/libraries.)
Could udev be enhanced so that tape drives also have entries in /dev/tape/by-id?
Other newer Linux operating systems like SuSE and RedHat do this.

I think the changes in question would be to 60-persistent-storage-tape.rules.

KERNEL=="st*[0-9]|nst*[0-9]",           ENV{ID_SERIAL}!="?*", \
        ENV{ID_BUS}="scsi", \
        IMPORT{program}="scsi_id --export --sg-version=3 --whitelisted  
--device=$tempnode"

# changed to seperate into nonrewinding and not
KERNEL=="st*[0-9]",             ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="?*", \
        SYMLINK+="tape/by-id/$env{ID_BUS}-$env{ID_SERIAL}"
KERNEL=="nst*[0-9]",            ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="?*", \
        SYMLINK+="tape/by-id/$env{ID_BUS}-$env{ID_SERIAL}-nst"

Since 204-9 we ship the upstream udev rules files which contain exactly
those lines.

I'm therefor marking this issue closed for that version.
