mmcblk0p* don't appear in /sys/block

Bug Description

Hi

casper scans block devices in /sys/block/* to find the live media. We see mmcblk0 there, but not the partitions e.g. mmcblk0p1; this breaks casper unless we force LIVEMEDIA.

This seems inconsistent with other block devices.

Bye

Actually a casper bug:
is_nice_device() {
    sysfs_path="${1#/sys}"
    if /lib/udev/path_id "${sysfs_path}" | grep -E -q "ID_PATH=(usb|pci-[^-]*-(ide|scsi|usb))"; then
        return 0
    fi
    return 1
}

=> should also allow platform-mmc*

This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.170

---------------
casper (1.170) jaunty; urgency=low

  * is_nice_device(): allow devices with an ID_PATH of platform-mmc* as well
    as used for instance for SD cards on the ARM iMX51 Babbage board;
