Upgrading kernel first would fix this problem, but I'm not confident to tell
if that wouldn't bring other -perhaps worse- problems.
So far I proposed two solutions (letting udev and hotplug coexist, or letting
gnome-desktop-environment be installed without udev when hotplug is present), I
think either of these would be better than altering kernel/userland upgrade
order.
