The /usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb script was intentionally removed by (Debian) maintainers, see:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=804299

So I guess this bug will end up with "wontfix".

We at upstream decided to keep the script and let maintainers disable it via ./configure --without-update-smart-drivedb.

@maintainers:
- Please remove update-smart-drivedb.8.gz from the package. The man page does not make any sense if the script is missing.
- Please consider providing drivedb.h as a separate package which is updated more frequently. Same is discussed for FreeBSD, see FreeBSD Bugzilla 208398.
