An issue was found recently:

    17941 driver actions can't seem to shake their aliases

where, on upgrade, driver aliases didn't properly disappear from
/etc/driver_aliases.  Oddly, addition seems to be working fine, which
probably why no one noticed before.  Turns out that argument handling in
update_drv is even more broken (shock!) than I'd originally implemented
around:

    7002217 update_drv -d -i fails: No entry found for driver
    7026916 update_drv: multiple argument parsing is flawed

Here's the workaround:

Once the fix to update_drv is in place (hopefully in build 163), then after
a suitable waiting period, we should be able to switch over to running
update_drv once for all aliases getting added and once for all removals,
rather than once for each alias.

Thanks,
Danek
