We want to kill udevd after installing a new version, cause the event
contains a magic with the version number of udev.

thanks,
Kay

Why take away this line?  It's needed if the symlink is set up "wrong"
(like pointing to udev instead of udevsend like old systems would
have...)

thanks,

..., cause it's not needed. The "-f" of the following line should be
enough to replace any already existing link:

- ln -f -s $(sbindir)/$(SENDER) $(DESTDIR)$(hotplugdir)/$(ROOT).hotplug


thanks,
Kay

Hm, ok, I can't remember why I didn't realize that a while ago... 

Oh well, applied, thanks.
