Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: udev

udev-finish.conf writes some dynamically generated udev config files to to the 
/etc/udev/rules.d directory.
That seems ugly and can cause some problems:

- /etc/udev/rules.d/README states that /etc/udev/rules.d 
  "is for local rules"
- /etc is not for dynamic content, boot should be able without a writable / 
directory
- rules will never be removed again, only added

For these reasons a tmpfs mountpoint would be more suitable for these
rules.
