As another person who's laptop couldn't even get online with the new udev (it fails to create device nodes at boot - but if you stop and start udev then it's ok) I proceeded to read the bug reports against udev.
I am particularly scared by: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=309415 Which taken in conjunction with Marco's comments telling people to provide a patch or stop complaining really worries me. I am not all happy to have the maintainer of a boot critical service using that package to support a crusade against Debian Policy. If Debian Policy is broken then by all means follow the process to fix it, but if maintainers of core packages feel free to deliberately violate policy and refuse simple patches which make their package more generic and bring it into complience with policy with _no_ side effects then my faith in Debian is severely diminished. Marco, please - find it within yourself to follow Debian Policy or hand the package to someone who will - both the policy on keeping upgrades as pain-free as possible, and the little things in policy that we users expect to be followed. manoj has offered to work on this, but I can see that if I was in the same position, I wouldn't want to risk the arrogant response vagrant received for taking the time to provide clear instructions on how to bring udev into complience with policy.
