Yeah... There is just one problem: hdapsd does not need that udev rule
since 1:20090401-1, because it now can (and does) detect the input
interface by itself.

% sudo hdapsd -t
Thu Dec  9 00:22:14 2010: Dry run, will not actually park heads or freeze queue.
Thu Dec  9 00:22:14 2010: Starting hdapsd
Thu Dec  9 00:22:14 2010: WARNING: You did not supply any devices to protect, 
trying autodetection.
Thu Dec  9 00:22:14 2010: Adding autodetected device: sda
Thu Dec  9 00:22:14 2010: Selected interface: HDAPS
Thu Dec  9 00:22:15 2010: Selected HDAPS input device: /dev/input/event9

The last line tells you it uses the input interface. If it would not be able to 
do so, you would see
WARNING: Could not find hdaps input device (No such file or directory). You may 
be using an incompatible version of the hdaps module. Falling back to reading 
the position from sysfs (uses more power).

Is this failling for you? If not, I'd close this bug as invalid asap :)
