Thank you.
As a user I certainly did not create those rules -- in fact I don't even
know where they are -- so why should I be expected to modify them? Maybe
these rules will be updated automatically when I next reboot -- hence my
question.
If the new udev package requires a particular version of the kernel then
*that* should be pointed out.
At minimum there should be something in apt-listmessages.
