I'm not sure if this would work, because I think HAL wants to know which
name has just been created by udev.

Last week I added this to README.Debian:

D-BUS support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It has been temporarily disabled for many reasons, among them it needing
libraries in /usr/lib and introducing a pause of many seconds at boot time.
A possible solution could be to build two versions of the daemon, start
the bare one in the init script[1] and patch it to exit when SIGUSR1 has
been received and the queue is empty.


[1] or initrd or initramfs.
