Folk,
Observations from bystander.

I prefer the existing message, since it actually explicitly says what
the problem is.

Non-obvious details, easily be clarified, are the location
& use of the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option. Where is it?
Is it consulted when the kernel is compiled or or when the
kernel is running?
It's a kernel compile-time options.
Also, there is no sense in every one of thousands of users
world-wide spending time updating rules. One of the benefits
of Debian is that a population can benefit from effort of
an individual. So most users should wait for maintainers
to update the .rules files.
Thank you.
As a user I certainly did not create those rules -- in fact I don't even
know where they are -- so why should I be expected to modify them? Maybe
these rules will be updated automatically when I next reboot -- hence my
question.
/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_libchipcard-tools.rules is presumably created by
the libchipcard-tools package, so I'd expect updates to that package to
fix the syntax.
If the new udev package requires a particular version of the kernel then
*that* should be pointed out.
At minimum there should be something in apt-listmessages.
Well, it's in the changelog, was discussed on debian-devel
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/11/msg00392.html), and will
appear in the release notes for squeeze.
