This isn't the way to fix this issue, the current mechanisms still lead
to drivedb.h from the package being overwritten by downloaded data. 
Thedrivedb.h file should be shipped in the deb in /usr not /var. At package 
install/update time the copy in /var should be updated using the copy in /usr 
if it is newer than the copy in /usr. The update tool should only write to the 
copy in /var but only if the downloaded version is newer than the copy in /var.
