 Well, this would involve running smartd with DEVICESCAN the first time
which clutters people's syslog and might cause problems. I'd prefer to
let people read the docs before starting the daemon. (In the not so near
future) I plan to implement DEVICESCAN as a seperate tool that is able
to write out smartd.conf, once this is there (and Bruce doesn't object
to such a tool) making /e/d/smartmontools debconf handeld will be easy.
