That might work, and I might try something like that when I have a spare 
machine. However, my experience importing the /etc/ folder from a very 
later distro into an older distro hasn't been good. There are numerous 
mismatches in options, and I've had programs refuse to start over errors 
I couldn't parse.

I'm not looking for ways to get around the problem. I'm asking if anyone 
knows of a project which gives standard Debian a real hardware probing 
install.
