Then I guess you are deliberately breaking all up-to-date unstable boxes? In this case udev installs, but doesn't start at boot time anymore, while with 0.060-1 it starts. > > Oh, and please stop this madness.

However unstable packages should always be release-quality.

Then why are you refusing to support earlier kernels like it has been suggested? The usual way of dealing with packages seriously breaking binary compatibility is to rename them, not to use fragile scripts that leave the system in an unusable state during an upgrade. -- .''`.
