Interesting... I'd not noticed that one (it's present as early as 146, btw). Going by the contents of /lib/udev, I guess that file is used by packages like DeviceKit-disks, NetworkManager, libgphoto, etc to work out where to install udev rules and helpers. It's a rather confused directory, actually - full of binaries like you'd expect for something under /lib, but also containing udev rules, keymap files, and template device nodes. I guess there's nowhere else to put them if you can't rely on /usr being present at boot... no equivalent of /usr/share... Simon.
