Tested with Quantal-server.

Package built without any modification and is currently in my ppa:

Package installs cleanly and updates from 0.32 with no issues.

I confirmed that on a Dell R820 system with a PCIe SSD storage device, the ledctl tool can correctly idenfity the ssd drive by blinking the LED:

sudo ledctl locate=/dev/rssda

The problem with the previous version is that when you run the following command to turn the blinking off, it does not take effect:

sudo ledctl locate_off=/dev/rssda

Updating from 0.32-1 to 0.74-1 went smoothly, and once the new version was in place the ability to turn off the blinking on the affected hard drive was fixed. This is one of the benefits of having the new package, in addition to support for the new hardware.
