Bug#783637: Installation fails because starting colord fails on missing libudev.so.0

[Michael Lager <outbound@lager.freeserve.co.uk>]

This was an upgrade from debian wheezy to jessie and a report (as 
requested) on how it went.  I just hope this can be put right for others 
wishing to  upgrade and finding it doesn't work.  My work-around was to 
create a symbolic link (result as below) for the missing file based on 
the pattern for symbolic links elsewhere: jessie now works OK.

$ ll|grep udev
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root       21 Apr 16 16:53 libgudev-1.0.so.0 -> 
libgudev-1.0.so.0.2.0
-rw-r--r--   1 root root    42920 Apr 16 16:53 libgudev-1.0.so.0.2.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root       38 Apr 16 16:53 libudev.so -> 
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.5.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root       10 Apr 28 11:10 libudev.so.0 -> libudev.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root       12 Apr 29 10:34 libudev.so.1 -> libudev.so.0
