Thanks, I've also made this change to the red hat init script.
And I've added some other stuff to the red hat one, so you might want to
take a look at it too.
Is there a official udev Debian package yet? If so, who is the
maintainer of it?
thanks,

I see a udev backported to Debian Woody, owned by Marco d'Itri
<md@linux.it>. Seems to be 0.014.
Also seen udev hanging out in Madrake Cooker & SuSE 9.

Yes, you know I am the maintainer and the package has been for months
available from http://www.bofh.it/~md/debian/ .
I have not uploaded it yet to the archive because udev keeps changing
and I do not want to support upgrades until it will be more stable.
I also see no point in uploading it until it will manage /dev, and it
has been pointed out by multiple people that this cannot be done until a
solution is found for devices like /dev/console, which are needed at the
beginning of the boot sequence.
Anyway, I'd prefer if you did not ship this init script with udev,
there is no point in doing this and it will always lag behind the
official one.

Hm, you mean Red Hat is shipping something that Debian thinks isn't
stable enough? Just kidding...

I just booted my laptop that runs Fedora and a stock 2.6.3-rc4 kernel
using udev to manage /dev. Gentoo is also able to do this just fine.
I'll clean up my scripts that I used to do this and post how to do this
with the next release for others who also want to do this.
So it is possible.

Well, I'll leave it alone for now, is that ok?

Backports are unofficial packages maintained by random people, so far I
have always packaged the latest release in no more than a few days.
Anyway, if the next release will support multiple configuration files
and additional symlink configuration entries I will try uploading it
and see what will happen.

I'm waiting for a updated patch for both of those features :)
