FYI.
I have tested the new udev in installs for i386, amd64 and armel and not
seen any really strange problems.
There was one bug due to udevd not being cleanly stopped before shutting
down the installer (#490924), but that should be fixed now.
On IRC Marco and I discussed that some files included in the current
version are not needed for D-I [1] and I expect those will be dropped
with the next upload.
End result is a nice size reduction compared with the Etch version of
udev-udeb of just under 30kB.
Thanks Marco.
Cheers,
FJP
