Officially marking as Rejected for dapper.

Here is the reasoning:

 - We applied the "fix", as planned, to the udev in Edgy Eft.

 - While the fix corrected the problem described here, it caused new problems. Because it was a fundamental change to device ordering, it changed the order of other devices where more than one existed in the system -- including other disks

 - For Edgy this was not a problem, as the upgrade makes other changes that make device order non-important anyway

 - These changes are too invasive for backporting to dapper

 - This bug has a known workaround, which can be applied by the minority of users affected by it

 - That workaround is preferable to causing far more working systems to cease functioning.
