"a && b" is basically the same as "if a; then b; fi" which is what you're doing here. This issue has already been addressed in the fix for #447961. So, it looks like udevd is running inside the i386 buildd chroot and thus causes the FTBFS of collectd - at least, that's the only explanation that makes sense to me. Setting up nut-dev 2.2.1-2 worked fine on at least armel and powerpc buildds. I'm currently checking if I can get more information about that. Imho the severity should be downgraded to "important" or less but I leave that up to Arnaud (the package maintainer) or Joe.
