Subject: devfs.rules: Don't change NAME into a port(host?/bus?) specific target,
 for gvm.

Package: udev
Version: 0.046-5
Severity: normal

Gnome-volume-manager mounts my cds with the REAL device "NAME=". It's good
to see that it's not being set to "hdc" but it's still being set to a
port(host?/bus?) specific name. I subjest that the NAME="%c{2}" since this
will allways be easy to see as a cdrom. Then SYMLINK="%k %c{1}".

gvm will then automount(using pmount) /dev/cdroms/cdrom? on
/media/cdroms_cdrom?. Any reason why this can't be "cdroms_?" like
"floppy_0"? You could think ahead and make NAME="%c{3}" (c{3} =
cdroms/%n) and have SYMLINK="%k %c{1} %c{2}".
