you're late, 0.4 is in etch since 03/01/2006 and already includes
the neccessary modifications (see, your patch is against 0.3). It'll
just need to be rebuilt when libsysfs2 will be available.
BTW: will you immediately ask for libsysfs1 removal?

I have one for example :) Well it's not necessary related to libsysfs in
particular but (to make the story short):
cpufrequtils is developed on a gentoo box that ships a modified libtool
that will try to link statically if the shared library is in /lib and
the static library (-dev files) is in /usr/lib.
Please see #344662. You'll have the same problem on ubuntu's amd64.
The gentoo developer says that libtool doesn't support linking
dynamically with such a layout (some stuff in /lib some in /usr/lib)...
Simply having links from /usr/lib/libsysfs.so{,.2} to /lib will link
correctly.

Interestingly enough I just noticed that on x86 libcpufreq dynamically
links against libsysfs1 but statically links against libsyfs2 (using
experimental packages)!! Doh!

Will ask for help soon...
