I noticed during boot a series of warnings coming from udevd.

To me those lines are cryptic.
So please advise: what to do?
This is an upgrade bug in the xserver-xorg-input-wacom package. It
leaves an "obsolete" file behind. See this bug for more information:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565126
Unfortunately the bug has not been getting any attention. If this has
affected you then I suggest adding comments to the bug so that it can
log that it is affecting people and perhaps then it would get fixed.
I added comments as you suggested.
A simple way for you to clean up the problem is:
# apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-input-wacom
# apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all
The problem is not harmless because it will prevent the system from
upgrading to the new dependency based boot system.
Thanks, Bob!
This solved the problem related to
/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules.
Now I have to resolve the same warnings coming from file
/etc/udev/rules.d/025_logitechmouse.rules
This is a symlink to
/etc/udev/logitechmouse.rules
According to 'dpkg -S' the symlink is unknown.
The target, though, is owned by package kcontrol.
I try to look around for more info.
Thanks for the help,
Itay
