Package: hdparm

The second line of the message should say:

Version: 9.43

Replace: 9.45

Severity: minor

(This is no real bug report.)

No, it's rather a plead to finally get rid of this ancient version which you 
still ship with current Debian. And not only that; (*)Ubuntu (all flavors) have 
been shipping the 9.43 version for 2 or even more years now. This has to come 
to an end now, let alone because of the following issue:

--read-sector is byte-swapped in every version <= 9.43. Mark fixed this in 
9.45+. unfortunately both you and the Ubuntu guys were asleep with both eyes 
open and still haven't considered a tool update for 2 + years :)
I think it's high time that this be done ... finally.
Thanks.
