By default, udev will not create the devfs scheme, but rather the fhs
scheme.  If the debian package of udev uses devfs scheme, then it is
because it is set up so in the /etc/udev/udev.rules file.  Check if you
have a rule like this there:
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/ide-devfs.sh %k %b %n", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="%c{1} %c{2}"
