Your handling of the udev rules stinks. Scenario: - module package for the 2.6.18 kernel installed - installation of a new module package for a 2.6.19 kernel: the udev rules file gets erased by the new module package, and the symlink is recreated, even if the user removed it previously - now remove the ancient module package for the 2.6.18 kernel: the postrm happily removes the symlink and the rules file Worst of all: the udev rules file only gets created if udev is installed at the time the postinst is run. Are you trying to set a new record, or what ? The policy for udev rules is: - ship /etc/udev/foo.rules - symlink into /etc/udev/rules.d the first time the package is installed and only the first time - remove the symlink when the package is purged And /etc/udev/foo.rules must be a conffile, damnit ! There are enough packages shipping udev rules in the archive that you could have found a correct example to base your package on. > Please unblock it, debdiff is attached. Please don't, this package is buggy as hell.
