I just installed udev-0.74-2 and the link to hotplug.rules file is
created.

There is now a new file /etc/udev/hotplug.rules in addition to the
original /etc/udev/hotplugd.rules file.

I would d/l the udev_0.074-2_i386.deb again and try again. My udev*.deb is for
amd64 so maybe the i386.deb was corrupted.
