Yes, until I convert all gentoo packages that put stuff in /etc/dev.d/
to use a udev RUN= rule, it will be a bit slower, but in the end, it
will be a few orders of magnitude faster, give us a few weeks :)

They were lucky...

Yes, known bug, see the gentoo bugzilla for details.

No, I fixed udev (well, Marco did:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h¡05fe495bdc95a24eaf2db557104534f6e1db34
)

060 is now out that fixes all of the above issues on gentoo, hopefully
debian will also be happier with it.  Sleep time now...
