Binary package hint: udev

Commit 32567f8 in the upstream udev git repository was meant as an enhancement to commit 5e9eb15, which was made to fix bug #626449. Unfortunately, commit 32567f8 (which is present in udev_166-0ubuntu1 in natty) is wrong.

The original symlink -- the one without the interface number -- points to the device file for the last interface, not interface #0. With a two-interface USB device, both /dev/by-id/usb-<serial>-<class> and /dev/by-id/usb-<serial>-if01-<class> point to the same device file (the one for the second interface). With commit 32567f8, no symlink for the first interface is created.

Reverting commit 32567f8 from the upstream udev Git repository should fix the problem.
