Subject: hotplug: don't fail on creating /usr/local/lib/firmware

Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-21
Followup-For: Bug #300726

The latest hotplug tries to create /usr/local/lib/firmware which is
valid according to policy 9.1.2, but it doesn't use a method which
handles /usr/local mounted read-only. This can cause a failure to
install. Please change the postinst code to create this dir to
something similar to what is suggested in 9.1.2. Thanks.
