It will take someone with more Debian experience than I to adequately
explain this, but as I understand it, Potato has been "frozen" for
several months now and is currently in a lock-down test freeze. I
guess this means packages cannot be updated and apparently pcmcia
was updated to 3.1.8 between the last freeze and this freeze. Keep
in mind that as a Debian release gets closer to "stable" it's packages
lag further behind the latest releases. For example, look at the
package versions of the current "stable", Slink.
Perhaps over the weekend I can remove pcmcia 3.1.8 and install 3.1.9
or later, compiled from source, and raise a convincing argument for
pcmcia being updated. I'm sure a much later version is included in
the "unstable" branch, Woody.

P.S. I have been tracking Potato for the past three months and this is
the first "Show stopper" I've encountered.
