Package: pcmcia-cs
Version: 3.2.8-5.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The new version of pcmcia-cs - 3.2.8-6 - unconditionally requires
pcmciautils which in it turn requires udev.  udev kicks out hotplug.

As udev is not currently on an acceptable level of stability, I don't
think this is acceptable, even for unstable.  Certainly, this
requirement should not be allowed into etch before the time where
udev is more mature.

On my system, the installation renders the entire system more or less
unusable because the udev doesn't recognize my ethernet cards
consistently.  And, yes, I am going to file a bug report on that
immediately.
