More generally, we don't support upgrades which skip releases, except for LTS -> LTS. Thus, in order to upgrade from gutsy to anything, you first _must_ upgrade to karmic. Thus it is sufficient to only keep transition code until the next LTS.

Ah, indeed, I remember; sorry for the noise. So, while udev itself in Debian is up to date now, dh_installudev still does the wrong thing in Debian :-(
