I updated the description and corrected the Bug title to reflect the new
aspects of the bug I've found out:
sysfsutils 2.1.0-2 (hardy)
Sysfsutils manages to give a successful output only when sysfs.conf is set with
only one scsi_host link tweak.
As far as I managed to understand the presence of other tweaks (for instance
tweaks to cpu governor and sound card) did not affect this bug.
The only blocking tweak is the scsi_host link.
All tweaks that in sysfs.conf follow the first scsi_host link directive are
ignored. However if they are put above to be executed first they are carried
out fine.
Changing the first scsi_host link doesn't positively affect the bug
(host0, host1 and so on always cause the bug to appear).

- Starting it via the init script simply does nothing, despite displaying
- "Setting sysfs variables..." (no "done" string however appears!)
