Ah.  Thank you.

Yes, that's good for the block devices.  In the past it seems that
rule doesn't guarantee the creation of the character device nodes,
though, and that is why there is a separate rule for each character
node in the patch I sent.  I haven't checked yet whether the latest
udev and kernel still behave the same way.
