sys-apps/sg3_utils used to contain the script. I think the shellscript
should be as a separate package.

What's the problem with just using sg3_tools? I think having an ebuild to
install a script when it's included with sg3_tools as well is a bit
pointless...

I don't see sg3_utils available for x86.

Second, no-one expects them to contain it. If it would be mentioned in package descriptions, so that 
"emerge -s rescan_scsi_bus" would find find this package, I wouldn't complain. ;)

Added "Contains rescan_scsi_bus." to ${DESCRIPTION} - fixed ebuilds should
reach the rsync mirrors within an hour. Please reopen this bug if you still
have any problems. Thanks!

Actually it should mention rescan_scsi_bus.sh. Maybe you would like to fix it
so that people know that gentoo also uses this shell script and something
Gentoo guys invented? ;)

Done :-)
