Yeah, that is the usual way and udevd makes sure not to return before
it's fully initialized. Waiting for a file from a daemon, just because
the minit-like stuff tries to be smart (daemons don't detach) sounds
weird. Anyway, the current udevd exports the seqnum of the kernel, so
one can wait for that, even when it's a silly workaround a problem that
does not exist in reality.
