[Foo2zjs-maintainer] Bug#477923: Bug#477923: foo2zjs: Hotplug firmware not loaded because of switch to udev

[ilf]

Since work on the package seems to be stalled since Version
20070718dfsg-8, I dug into the upstream changelog, finding the relevant
change at [1]:

| 2007-11-10      Rick Richardson <rick.richardson at comcast.net>
|         * Modify: hplj10xx.rules to put -%n in the symlink field

So for a quick workaround with the package, edit

  /etc/udev/rules.d/11-hplj10xx.rules
changing
  SYSFS{product}=="HP LaserJet   -> to ->   SYSFS{product}=="hp LaserJet
and
  SYMLINK+="hplj1000%e",         -> to ->   SYMLINK+="hplj1000n%n",

I attached a patch.

A new package with updated upstream sure would be nice, especially since
this Bug is also present in the Lenny package 20070718dfsg-7.1, which
uses the same (old) upstream.
