On Debian, packages which install RUN rules must either not care if
events happening before /usr is mounted are lost or if appropriate
use scripts which wait until whatever is needed is available (e.g. the
SUBSYSTEM=="net" agent waits for the lo interface to be up).
I am not sure if I want to replay failed events, because we don't know
why they failed and so far it's not clear if this is needed.
