Package: pcmciautils
Severity: normal

When I purged pcmcia-cs after installing pcmciautils
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts was silently removed. However that file is
required to correctly initialize the PCMCIA bridge.

This was an older testing -> newer testing upgrade. Unfortunately I
currently don't have access to the the machine where this
happened. And I am unable to recover which pcmcia-cs version it was
that did these things. (If you need the pcmciautils version I used,
that I can recover, just ask)

It's not clear to me if this is a bug in pcmciautils or one in
pcmcia-cs.

As already discussed by personal email I'd like to suggest using
/usr/share/pcmciautils/config.opts as fallback if
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts is not existant. That way the problem
discussed abovce would not have bitten me. In addition upgrades to
that file would be easier and a little bit of disk space is saved.
