Not really. udev versions older than 072 do not support the new nested
classes used by the input subsystem in kernels >= 2.6.15.
The effect is that device nodes in /dev/input/ will not be created, and
the respective drivers will not be loaded. (The upstream and kernel
maintainers agree that this had to be done, and say that it will not
happen again...)

Also, udev versions older than 059 have some bugs which break
referencing sysfs attributes since kernel 2.6.12 (this was not supposed
to happen, but bugs are bugs...).

(This is tersely documented in README.Debian, BTW.)
