Quoting NEWS file from smartmontools (6.4+svn4214-1):
| Previous versions of the smartmontools package included a tool
| update-smart-drivedb which downloaded updated drive definitions
| from the smartmontools website and stored them at
|
| /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb/drivedb.h
|
| This tool did not download the definitions in a secure manner and
| so the feature has been removed in this version. Future drive DB
| updates will be propagated via normal Debian package updates,
| including backports.
|
| If you already have a drivedb.h file at that location, smartctl
| will continue to use it.
We could completely drop the package once we're certain that
update-smart-drivedb doesn't exist anymore in all the Debian
releases grml-live is building for, but for the time being
let's keep it and switch the warning into a note.
