I have to say I really, really wish remco hadn't accepted this patch.
Changing the *machine readable* option of lspci makes Debian
incompatible with every other distro.  This one is definitely being
reverted before we get to 2.2.1-1.  Sorry, no discussion on this one.
It actually makes it *IMPOSSIBLE* to machine-parse, unless you use -n as
well.  Look:

$ lspci -m
00:00.0 Host bridge Intel Corporation 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller 03 00 Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 08b0

I mean, wtf?
