Sure.  If you want to fix this in a better way, that would be great.
My patch is simply a quick way to make it work with both the new and
old udev locations using the existing logic.  If you want to use this
now and switch to a cleaner solution later, or use a cleaner version
now if available, that's your choice.

Apologies if the comment sounded the wrong way.  I was merely a little
concerned that what works on an Ubuntu release /over three years old/
is affecting current development work in Debian.  The considerations
for the /run transition in specific and unstable in general in Debian
are to permit upgrades from squeeze to wheezy.  So long as that works,
that's great.
