rawhide hotplug broken]

In case folks here are unaware, RedHat has been hacking
the hotplug srpm releases here for their rawhide releases (and I assume their upcoming RH 7.1 release) doing such things as removing the rc scripts from hotplug. On my linuxppc (running Linux 2.4.4pre1, glibc 2.2.3 and the rawhide srpms), I find that RedHat's modified hotplug doesn't work for loading the usb print module when it sees my Epson 740i printer. Their previous hotplug-1.9 release did work but RedHat claims this was broken and loaded all modules blindly.
I discovered last night that if I installed the latest
hotplug-2001_02_28 and usbutils-0.7-101 rpms on my machine that the usb print module was loaded on boot or hotplugging the Epson 740i printer. I also discovered that I had to have usbutils installed for the hotplugging to work. Also if I substituted RedHat's rawhide hotplug-2001_02_14-15 rpm, the hotplugging no longer worked with or without usbutils. Perhaps some of the experts here should help out RedHat since they seem to be a tad confused on how the hotplug stuff should be set up. Oh, the bugzilla report for this problem is...

Thanks in advance for helping them out with this.
