it souds reasonable to me. Expecially given this comment by the debian devicekit packager: The APIs (D-Bus,libraries) of DeviceKit(-*) are still in a bit of a flux, DeviceKit itself is destined to go away very likely in the near future and the functionality will be moved into udev(-extras). DeviceKit-disks and DeviceKit-power are planned to talk to udev directly via libudev.
