FYI, in debian the rules are a bit in a different flavor: 01-md-raid-creating.rules 50-firmware.rules 50-udev-default.rules
55-dm.rules 56-lvm.rules 60-block.rules 60-cdrom_id.rules 60-drm.rules 60-evdev.rules 60-input-id.rules 60-persistent-alsa.rules 60-persistent-input.rules 60-persistent-storage-dm.rules 60-persistent-storage-tape.rules 60-persistent-storage.rules 60-persistent-v4l.rules 60-sensor.rules 60-serial.rules 63-md-raid-arrays.rules 64-btrfs-dm.rules 64-btrfs.rules 64-md-raid-assembly.rules 69-lvm-metad.rules 69-md-clustered-confirm-device.rules 70-joystick.rules 70-mouse.rules 70-power-switch.rules 70-touchpad.rules 70-uaccess.rules 71-seat.rules 73-seat-late.rules 73-special-net-names.rules 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules 75-net-description.rules 75-probe_mtd.rules 78-sound-card.rules 80-debian-compat.rules 80-drivers.rules 80-net-setup-link.rules 82-gfs2-withdraw.rules 85-hwclock.rules 95-dm-notify.rules 99-systemd.rules So maybe there is some difference here.
