Package: udev
Version: 164-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

When I boot a Debian appliance for libguestfs (http://libguestfs.org)
the boot sits and waits for 60 seconds while it prints the large
"warn_if_interactive" warning (when starting udev service).

The warning is wrong: although the tty is /dev/ttyS0, the service is
not being started interactively.

Therefore please provide a way that we can bypass this warning.  A
suggested patch will be attached to this bug report.
