This is a classic example of probably the only thing I dislike about Debian.
The latest version of udev depends on a package that simply doesn't exist. It
would be different if it still worked with the package that does exist, but it
doesn't. There simply is no 2.6.12 kernel in Debian unstable at this time. If
it's in experimental, then all packages that depend on it and can't use any
earlier version need to stay in experimental as well. Debian is truly a great
OS. But it could be much better if only this one problem could be corrected.
This puts me in mind of the udf-tools package, which required pktcdvd in the
kernel in order to function, but the patch was never available in Debian until
it finally made it into the official kernel tree in 2.6.10. Since Sarge runs
2.6.8, this problem isn't even fixed in "stable."
