After updating kpartx and multipath-tools from the Wheezy point
release to version 0.4.9+git0.4dfdaf2b-7~deb7u1 there where some
changes to the udev rule, and in my case the -part1 symlinks are not
created anymore:
# ls -l /dev/dm-1
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 253, 1 Oct 14 08:50 /dev/dm-1
# /sbin/dmsetup -c --noheadings info -j253 -m1

# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-mpath-360050768018086336800000000000293*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 14 08:50 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-mpath-360050768018086336800000000000293 -> ../../dm-1
# ls -l /dev/mapper/360050768018086336800000000000293*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Oct 14 08:50 /dev/mapper/360050768018086336800000000000293 -> ../dm-1
Now only running manually
# kpartx -u -p -part /dev/dm-1
gives me
# ls -l /dev/mapper/360050768018086336800000000000293*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Oct 14 08:50 /dev/mapper/360050768018086336800000000000293 -> ../dm-1

# ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-*mpath-360050768018086336800000000000293*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 14 08:50 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-mpath-360050768018086336800000000000293 -> ../../dm-1

If I downgrade to -0.4.9+git0.4dfdaf2b-6 this works again, and after
booting both symlinks in /dev/disk/by-id and /dev/mapper are present.
I first wanted to ask here, before filling a regression bugreport.
