I'm about to do an upload of the new pciutils and was testing the packages I 
built and found a couple issues,

1) When installing,

Unpacking replacement pciutils ...
dpkg: warning - unable to delete old directory `/var/lib/pciutils': Directory 
not empty

Since we're getting rid of that location, I guess we need to clean that up in 
the prerm? On my system the offending file was "pci.ids.old", I thought we 
already had code to get rid of .old files? Hmm, it looks like it's been 
changed to the /usr/share location, I'll have it clean up the old var location 
too, sound OK?

2) I did a diff of "lspci" from old to new and everything now has a leading 
"0000:" on my system, is that known?

3) I did a diff of "lspci -v" from old to new and now things that used to say,

  Capabilities: <available only to root>

now say

  Capabilities: <access denied>

Is that expected? The former seems a little more user-friendly to me.
