Bug Description
The hwdb bits of udev do not work at the moment. They expect the compiled hwdb database in /etc/udev/hwdb.bin:
$ udevadm test-builtin hwdb /devices/
calling: test-builtin
error reading /etc/udev/hwdb.bin: No such file or directory
load module index
unload module index
$ udevadm hwdb --test=
This leads to devices not having proper vendor/product strings (also see bug 1186777).
TODO:
- Move binary database out of /etc [upstream]
- Call "udevadm hwdb --update" in udev postinst
- Clean up hwdb.bin on purge

We could also skip shipping /lib/udev/hwdb.d/ and /etc/udev/hwdb.d/ and just ship the binary database. That'll be more efficient, at least until we have other packages which want to install stuff there.
