Is there anything I can do as the person who releases the hotplug
packages?

I notice that Red Hat does tweak the way the hotplug package starts up
(as part of the rc.sysinit script) and doesn't use the
/etc/init.d/hotplug service script.  Any big reason why?  Anything I can
do to the main package to help Red Hat out?  I know we've made changes
to help Debian out :)

The initscripts complain in a few places with a 2.6 kernel (no
/proc/bus/usb/drivers for example).  Care for me to send patches for
this against the latest cvs tree?
