[Bug 341526] Re: Add support for Dell Driver Injection Disk

It would be useful for this to be compatible with the driver update CD
implementation already in casper, which uses /ubuntu-drivers/<kernel-
version>/. I'd be happy to add the LSB release as a lookup alternative
for casper, but /ubuntu-drivers/ was chosen to avoid confusion with
Ubuntu CD images that already use /ubuntu/. Can we use /ubuntu-drivers/
instead?

The path should not be hardcoded, but should use DISTRIB_ID from /etc
/lsb-release. localechooser has safe shell code for reading it.

I'm not sure I'm wild about the change to treat firmware disks
separately. I agree that they're sort of different in some ways, but the
delivery format is the same. Was this necessary for some particular
reason not mentioned in the changelog entry?

I'm not sure about the new udeb in hw-detect. I'll need to look into
this some more.
