Done:

   * Add 16-nonpartitions-ending-in-nums.patch:
     - Hal currently assumes that device names ending in numbers are
       partitions. This patch adds a safe and easy, but slightly ugly
       workaround. (Real fix will be discussed with upstream at
       https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5558)
     - This breaks SCSI, USB, and Firewire CD drives, which are usually called
       'scd0', 'sr1', etc.
     - Closes: LP#56484 and an impressive number of duplicates.

I attached the debdiff to the bug report.

Bug submitters, can you please test this, too, after it's available in
dapper-proposed? Thank you!
