Nothing, it was bad wording. I meant to say that I was going to do some work on this package anyway, so that would be a good time to also have another look at this bug. > BTW, you'd be suprised how many times I see this bug confusing users.

But as it turned out the only convenient way of testing the old device name problem was not really testing the same code path. Anyway, my last question remains. Joey, you probably have most experience with stable point releases: Do you think a fix for this will make it to a etch point release? Otherwise there is not much use of fixing this.
