Of course, you are not Debian developer.

I am just trying to say, that this problem is repeatedly reported as a smartmontools package bug for very long time by many Debian/Ubuntu users. Eliminating the update-smart-drivedb script by Debian developers looks like a strange solution, even in a case, that from version 6.5 should all works well again.

That is all... HOWGH

The point is you would have to ask the Debian Developers.

Many other users of Debian/Ubuntu did that during last few years with absolutely no impact.

OK I will try...
