laptop-mode-tools.tce missing blockdev dependency

I added util-linux-ng to the dep file though the tce repo is no longer maintained or available through the appbrowser in recent TC releases.  

This extension was pulled from tcz repo earlier:

But as that came just at or before some general things were fixed in the repo, perhaps it can be revisited.

Thanks Jason

Sorry for the lack of response, but I've been away for a week...

I looked at making the laptop-mode extension PPI compliant as there are a bunch of conf files under /etc and it is not possible to pass a ./configure switch to change this.

I asked the question on the laptop-mode list a couple of weeks back - let me prod them again.

[Jason W]

Could the config files be staged somewhere in the extension under /usr/local and then copied to /etc by the startup script?

That is sometimes a necessary approach as some things are never going to be fully PPI compliant.

I managed to move everything to /usr/local and get rid of the blockdev dep - I just need to test and decide how to treat the 101 conf files (most of which probably would never be changed...)
