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. > I find your comment "While this might be the case, it's not really > applicable to the version of the package which is uploaded to Debian." > pretty brash.

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. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
