Package: hotplug
Version: 0.0.20040329-17
Severity: normal

/etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions:

    if grep -q "^$(echo $MODULE|sed -e 's/[-_]/[-_]/g')\$" $HOTPLUG_DIR/blacklist $HOTPLUG_DIR/blacklist.d/* >/dev/null 2>&1; then

This processes _all_ the files in $HOTPLUG_DIR/blacklist.d/ without
ignoring those that are backup files, e.g., foo.dpkg-old. The
hotplug package avoids this sort of problem in other cases by requiring
a special file suffix. It may be too late to require such a suffix for
names of files in blacklist.d. Perhaps "run-parts --list" can be used
to obtain the list of active files in the directory instead of shell
glob.
