The new hotplug subsystem cannot handle blacklisting anymore, and now delegates it to modprobe. modprobe uses a different syntax, so the old /etc/hotplug/blacklist* files are not supported anymore. Considering that the other distributions have no plans to keep supporting hotplug-style blacklisting I think we can just switch to the new system and forget about it.
*BUT* if somebody really feels strongly about this, as the module-init-tools maintainer I would not object to a modprobe patch to add support old-style blacklists, as long as it will be ready in a few days and the submitter is willing to maintain it as long as it will be needed. The affected packages are: alsa-base Debian ALSA Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> capiutils Paul Slootman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> hostap-utils Andres Salomon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libphidgets0 martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> libsane Julien BLACHE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> lm-sensors Aurelien Jarno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- ciao, Marco
