* SECURITY UPDATE: root privilege escalation via udev event spoofing.
  - Add debian/patches/81-netlink-owner-check.patch: upstream
    fixes.

Don't write the empty string to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug if it doesn't
exist (ie. the kernel wasn't compiled with CONFIG_HOTPLUG). We don't
use or need this for anything, we were just being tidy.

Only attempt to rename network interfaces that have an associated
driver, e.g. not bridges and vlans.

Add MINKVER="2.6.15" to our hook script, so mkinitramfs will refuse
to include our new udev in an old kernel's initramfs. Depend on a
new enough version of initramfs-tools so that this hack works.

* Add vbi symlink for v4l* application that otherwise will complain about
  it and makes the X world more happy (including the maintainer that can
  watch^Wtest TV):
  - Update debian/60-symlinks.rules.

Drop the /etc/iftab fixing code, there are just too many little problems
with doing this. If after a breezy->dapper upgrade your network devices
are incorrectly named, fix /etc/iftab manually. We'll work on a better
solution later.

Add the address of any UP interface to /etc/iftab if not already
present to ensure they don't change names either.

Ignore device-mapper devices and let LVM take care of creating them.

* Improve the iftab helper somewhat:
  - add support for driver, bus and businfo selectors
  - add support for any sysfs attribute with a SYSFS{...} selector
* On package upgrade fix any /etc/iftab entries that appear to be incorrect,
  this is a rather simple fix but should work for the majority of people.

Add missing conflicts on ifrename; all of the work done by that tool
is now performed by udev itself.
