That seems to be bad advice (use apt-get instead). > That's likely to be removed from the release notes. There's still good reason to document in the release notes the issues surrounding udev, given that the default upgrade path will now allow you to put your system in a state where a mid-upgrade reboot (intended or not) may fail to bring up your network. We just may decide not to explicitly document an 'apt-get' command here. > We should have 571255 fixed in squeeze in a couple of days, which will > make this step of the upgrade mostly unnecessary.

In the interim, I've updated the release notes draft to reference apt-get here - the more we can minimize these issues at this critical time for upgrade tests, the better we'll be able to make squeeze in the end.
