Debian scripts make a very specific expectation of the bootscript: 
namely, they expect that the udev-mtab bootscript moves the generated 
rules from the temporary location in /dev/shm to the final one in 
/etc/udev/rules.d. Some other systems work in a different way: they fail 
the entire uevent if /etc is mounted read-only in hope that a script 
will retrigger it later.

So:

 * Either the Debian script should be included as-is and its expectation 
about copying rules in the udev-mtab script has to be documented
 * Or the Debian script has to be made configurable in order to adapt to 
the two above-mentioned configurations (i.e., "copy rules" vs "retrigger 
uevents").
