Comment 5 for bug 491324

I've fixed this bug in this branch:

https://code.launchpad.net/~ssd7/ubuntu/maverick/smartmontools/smartmontools-fix-491324

I followed the directions I found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and have proposed the branch for merging. I only fixed the issue with the status message and not the fact that one needs to uncomment #start_smartd=yes in /etc/default/smartmontools even when starting it manually after boot, despite the fact that the comment in that file only indicates that the #smart_smartd line is for system startup.

Alternatively, this could be converted to an upstart script. I'd be happy to do the conversion if that is the preferred solution.
