Package: udev
Version: 0.050-2
Followup-For: Bug #288043

just a note : the migration from devfs to udev does not require any
change to the "system" configuration" (be it fstab, cd ripper, lilo or else).

Udev can emulate devfs device names by replacing the symlink in
/etc/udev/rules.d/ :
from udev.rules -> ../udev.rules
to devfs.rules -> ../devfs.rules

(you can also let both rules active to make the system transition)
