Note: this requires respinning initscripts too. There's something to be said for
'don't mis-edit files', though. :)

Also, with regards to this patch, it will break if someone *wants* there to be a
quote in their device name. As that's legal (if odd) for the device name, I'm
somewhat inclined to not dequote that parameter. (And no, I don't want to
introduce escapes.)
