Comment(by matthew@…):

 From reading Kay's reply at
 http://www.spinics.net/lists/hotplug/msg05330.html, it looks like they
 expect everyone to be following the merged / & /usr layout already!  This
 is the trouble when the same maintainer seemingly looks after several
 areas of a distro at the same time; they lose the ability to
 understand/acknowledge that not all distros use the same layout, so such
 assumptions don't necessarily hold.  So, now we're in the position that
 the upstream kernel will dump firmware blobs into /lib, but Udev expects
 them to be in /usr/lib.  Using rootprefix='' looks sensible enough for the
 time being (i.e. until Kay, Lennart and the gang change the default in the
 kernel).  I'll fix this up with the version bump.
